Systematic work continues in the Mangystau region to ensure the country's energy security and comply with time restrictions on the export of petroleum products. Employees of the Tazhen customs post of the Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region demonstrate high vigilance, identifying attempts to illegally export diesel fuel that could damage the domestic market.According to the order of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated April 30, 2026 No. 175-N/K, from May 21 to November 21, 2026, a ban was imposed on the export by road of gasoline, diesel fuel and certain types of petroleum products from the territory of Kazakhstan, including to the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union. This temporary but fundamentally important measure is aimed at stabilizing the domestic market and preventing fuel shortages.Despite the ban, some drivers of international flights are trying to circumvent it by installing additional fuel tanks on trucks that are not provided for by the factory design. It is precisely such violations that are regularly detected and suppressed by inspectors of the Tazhen customs post.The results of the workThe Beineu District Court of Mangystau region considered a series of administrative cases under article 545 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In all cases, the violators were international drivers, mostly Uzbek citizens, who tried to export diesel fuel through the Tazhen customs post.Here are some examples:- the driver of the B.U.M. (DAF car) was found to have an additional 180-liter tank completely filled with diesel fuel;- 95 liters of diesel were seized from an unofficial tank at P.A.S.;- H.F.Ya. (Isuzu car) — 120 liters;- E.F.T. has 500 liters;- R.A.Y. has 70 liters.;- A.N. has 500 liters.In all cases, the court found the drivers guilty, confiscated fuel for state revenue, and fined each person 64875 tenge (15 monthly calculation indices). The court took into account the guilty plea and remorse of the violators, but left the sanction in full, provided by law.Customs officers carry out not only a formal document check, but also a thorough inspection of vehicles, identifying artisanal additional containers that drivers often fill at the gas station for subsequent export. Why is this important?Every liter of illegally exported diesel fuel poses risks to the domestic market. Under time constraints, the work of customs officers directly protects the interests of citizens and businesses in Kazakhstan. Their vigilance is a real contribution to the stability of the region's fuel supply.The Department of State Revenue for the Mangystau region emphasizes that compliance with the ban is the responsibility of all participants in international transportation. Attempts to circumvent the law by using additional fuel tanks will continue to be severely suppressed. The Tazhen Customs post is the largest international checkpoint for multilateral cargo, passenger and automobile traffic located on the external border of the Eurasian Economic Union with the Republic of Uzbekistan. (unofficial translation)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-mangistau/press/news/details/1272079?lang=ru

Thanks to the vigilance and professionalism of National Guard servicemen and staff of Institution No. 8 of the Penal Enforcement Department of the Aktobe Region, two attempts to bring prohibited items into the facility have been prevented.On August 10, 2026, as part of the preventive security operation “Barrier,” servicemen of Military Unit 6655 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with staff from the security and operational departments of the institution, carried out a series of inspection measures.At approximately 3:50 p.m., during the inspection of S.T., a driver representing Stroy-Prof LLP, institution staff discovered and confiscated 20,000 tenge in cash from his trouser pocket — two 10,000-tenge banknotes.Later, at approximately 4:30 p.m., during the inspection of a parcel delivered by citizen A.S., staff discovered a mobile phone hidden among food products inside a doner.

The Agency for Protection and Development of Competition of the Republic of Kazakhstan has completed an analysis of the state of competition in the road petroleum bitumen market for 2024–2025. One of the key objectives of the analysis was to assess the extent of state participation in the market and the possibility of further reducing it, including through the transfer of certain assets into a competitive environment by means of privatization, without reducing the road sector’s supply of bitumen.State participation in the market is represented primarily by the group of companies of JSC “NC “KazMunayGas”, as well as by the participation of JSC “Karazhanbasmunay” in the production and distribution chain of products manufactured by LLP “JV “Caspi Bitum”.A significant role of the state is also evident in production. In 2025, LLP “Pavlodar Petrochemical Plant” and LLP “JV “Caspi Bitum” jointly accounted for approximately 70% of road bitumen production. Taking this structure into account, the Agency assessed opportunities for gradual denationalization, with a mandatory assessment of the impact of such decisions on competition and the stability of supplies to the domestic market.The analysis also focused on previously identified restrictions. Following the analysis for 2022–2023, the Agency noted the absence, at the legislative level, of a mechanism for administering the allocation of road bitumen volumes and transparent criteria for selecting market participants, which affected the control over the targeted use of bitumen.In 2026, this gap was addressed. At the legislative level, the authorized body responsible for roads was granted powers, jointly with the national operator, to determine the demand for road bitumen, approve rules for the formation and allocation of volumes, and directly carry out such allocation. The amendments will enter into force in September 2026.Thus, the mechanism for allocating road bitumen volumes has received a direct legal basis. Further attention in this area should focus on establishing clear and transparent conditions for the allocation of bitumen, ensuring equal access for all market participants, and monitoring the targeted use of allocated bitumen volumes.At the same time, the issue of monitoring mandatory sales of bitumen through commodity exchanges remains unresolved. Since 2021, the minimum share of petroleum bitumen subject to sale through commodity exchanges has been set at 10% of the total annual volume planned for supply to the domestic market. In practice, only some of the obligated entities conduct exchange-based sales. During the period under review, two producers did not sell bitumen through commodity exchanges.In the Agency’s view, increasing the share of exchange-based trading not only ensures market-based pricing and equal access to the resource, but also reduces the risks of shadow turnover. In this regard, ensuring effective exchange-based monitoring of compliance with the mandatory sales share by all market participants remains a key outstanding task. Strengthening such monitoring will increase market transparency and ensure a level playing field for competition.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/zk/press/news/details/1271991?lang=ru

According to preliminary data from the BNS, in January-July 2026, GDP growth consolidated and amounted to 4.1%, which is at the level of the first half of the year.The positive dynamics, expressed in the sustainability of growth, was achieved despite an 8.9% decrease in oil production (53.2 million tons) and the volatility of global markets.Economic growth was supported by the non-resource sector, which, according to the Ministry of National Economy, grew by 5.4% in the first seven months of this year.The key segment of the economy, manufacturing, showed a high growth rate of 9.0%. At the same time, mechanical engineering (22%), food production (13.9%), chemical industry (26.9%), pharmaceuticals (38.5%), building materials (9.4%), and finished metal products (35%) became the leaders in terms of processing growth. Significant growth was also achieved in construction (15.3%), transport and warehousing (7.4%), trade (5.9%), agriculture (5%), communications (4.3%).It is worth noting that in previous years, the growth rate of the economy strongly depended on the dynamics of the commodity sector — the slowdown in oil production held back GDP growth, and the acceleration, respectively, gave a strong impetus to growth. Due to the gradual diversification of the economy, including strengthening industrial potential, strengthening the role of development institutions, developing transit, automobile and railway infrastructure, supporting domestic producers and SMEs, and increasing investments in non-resource areas, the role of the oil sector in the economy has significantly decreased in recent years (the share of oil production in the GDP structure decreased to 7.8% by the end of 2025).https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1271953?lang=ruSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-ekonomika-zhosparlau/press/news/details/1272018?lang=ru
