The 10th Meeting of the Kazakhstan-Mongolia Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation was held in Astana on October 1, 2026.During the meeting, the sides discussed the current state of bilateral trade and practical measures to further expand trade relations.First Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aizhan Bizhanova noted that Kazakhstan and Mongolia have significantly intensified their cooperation since the beginning of the year. In the first eight months of 2026, bilateral trade reached approximately USD 77 million.At the same time, the sides have carried out substantial work this year to develop legal, trade and financial instruments to further increase bilateral trade.One of the key developments was the entry into force on July 22 of the Interim Trade Agreement between the EAEU and Mongolia. The agreement provides preferential conditions for 367 tariff lines. Kazakhstan sees significant potential for increasing exports of agricultural products, machinery, metals and chemical industry products.In parallel, infrastructure is being developed to promote Kazakh products in the Mongolian market. Several agreements have been signed with major Mongolian partners this year.Under one of these agreements, concluded with Mon-Kaz Trade & Investment Hub, preparations are underway in Ulaanbaatar to launch a trading platform under the Made in Kazakhstan brand, where Kazakh products will be presented on a permanent basis.Particular attention was also paid to the development of trade financing. The Kazakhstan Export Credit Agency has approved a USD 33 million limit for Mongolia’s Trade and Development Bank. Under this mechanism, three transactions for the supply of Kazakh railway gondola cars, with a total value of approximately USD 21 million, are already being worked on. At the same time, cooperation with other Mongolian banks is also underway.The Kazakh side also proposed exploring a reciprocal financing mechanism that would allow domestic businesses to purchase Mongolian products on more favorable terms. This would help use trade finance instruments to increase mutual supplies between the two countries.Another practical outcome was the development of cooperation in the field of technical regulation. On September 28, a Memorandum was signed between the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Mongolian Agency for Standardization and Metrology. The cooperation is aimed at simplifying procedures and reducing technical barriers to bilateral trade.Particular attention during the meeting was also given to transport and logistics connectivity between the two countries. Kazakhstan supported the Mongolian side’s initiatives to improve trade routes, develop transportation through the territory of China and reduce logistics costs.“Over the course of this year, we have carried out substantial preparatory work together. Trade, financial and organizational instruments have been established. Our common task now is to translate these mechanisms into concrete transactions, secure new contracts and increase bilateral trade,” Aizhan Bizhanova said.The Kazakh side expressed its readiness to continue practical work to promote joint trade projects and provide the necessary support to Mongolian businesses in the Kazakh market. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1303214?lang=ru

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, citizens who have difficulties fulfilling their financial obligations may use procedures for restoring solvency, out-of-court bankruptcy, and court-supervised bankruptcy. Court-supervised bankruptcy is applied when the grounds established by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan" are present.One of the grounds is having debt to creditors exceeding 1,600 monthly calculation indices (MCIs). In 2026, this amount is 6,920,000 tenge. In some cases, the amount of debt is not decisive, for example, when obligations to other creditors exist. As a rule, it is also required that the debtor has not made payments toward the obligations for 12 consecutive months and that the measures prescribed by law to settle the debt have been carried out.The procedure begins when a citizen submits an application to the court at their place of residence. The application must include information about creditors, debts, property, and other required documents. A financial manager participates in the procedure, analyzing the debtor's financial situation, identifying property, and preparing a register of creditors' claims. Property subject to sale may be sold in accordance with the procedure established by law to repay the debt.After the procedure is completed, the remaining obligations are terminated. However, certain obligations are not written off, including alimony, compensation for harm caused to a person's life or health, certain obligations to the state, compensation for damage caused by criminal offenses, and the remuneration of the financial manager.Bankruptcy also entails certain restrictions: for five years, a citizen may not obtain loans, except for microloans from pawnshops, or act as a guarantor or surety under certain agreements.Thus, court-supervised bankruptcy provides citizens with an opportunity to resolve an excessive debt burden, but it requires compliance with legal requirements and entails certain legal consequences.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1303064?lang=ru

Since June, a reduced railway transportation coefficient has been applied to socially significant food products and wheat intended for flour-milling and baking enterprises. This has made it possible to reduce transportation costs by up to 40%. A reduced electricity tariff is also available to producers of socially significant goods that undertake commitments to stabilize prices.Work to ensure price stability continues. Particular attention is being paid to goods that have the greatest impact on food inflation, as well as to ensuring a stable and uninterrupted supply of the domestic market.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1303055?lang=ru
