По итогам первого квартала 2026 года фиксируется одновременное укрепление доходной части бюджета и замедление инфляционных процессов. Это во многом связано с тем, что  краткосрочный всплеск  цен, вызванный изменением ставки НДС, был абсорбирован экономикой в конце 2025 года – январе-феврале 2026-го и в настоящее время уже не оказывает влияния на инфляцию.По оперативным данным, исполнение по доходам государственного бюджета за 1 квартал 2026 года (без учета трансфертов) составило 104,4%. При плане 6 176,2 млрд тенге в бюджет поступило 6 444,9 млрд тенге, перевыполнение – 268,7 млрд тенге.По сравнению с аналогичным периодом 2025 года доходы госбюджета увеличились на 930,6 млрд тенге, или на 16,9%. Превышение планов по доходам зафиксировано как в республиканском, так и местных бюджетах. Стоит отметить, что доходы республиканского бюджета по налоговым поступлениям на 2026 год планируются в сумме 18,886 трлн тенге, что на 4,4 трлн тенге выше фактических поступлений за 2025 год.В частности, доходы республиканского бюджета исполнены на 101,8%: при плане 4 085,6 млрд тенге поступило 4 159,4 млрд тенге. Рост к прошлому году составил 26,1% (+861,8 млрд тенге). Во многом это обусловлено увеличением цен на мировых рынках  на основные экспортные товары Казахстана, ростом объемов реализации товаров и услуг, зафиксированных в системе ЭСФ за 4 квартал 2025 г., а также результатами налогового и таможенного администрирования.Налоговые поступления, формирующие основную часть доходов республиканского бюджета (98%), исполнены на 101,6%: при плане 4 012,8 млрд тенге поступило 4 077,6 млрд тенге. Рост к аналогичному периоду прошлого года составил 31,5%. При этом следует учитывать, что на январь-март 2026г. пришелся срок уплаты НДС за IV квартал 2025 года (до 25 февраля 2026 г). И, соответственно, налоговые обязательства по НДС произведены по ставке 12%.Рост обеспечен по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года по таким крупным налогам, как КПН (+16,9%), НДС на импортируемые товары (исчислен по ставке 16%) (+24,2%), налог на добычу полезных ископаемых (+35,7%).Доходы местных бюджетов исполнены на 109,3%: при плане 2 090,6 млрд тенге поступило 2 285,5 млрд тенге. Рост к прошлому году составил 3,1% (+68,8 млрд тенге).С начала года в специальном налоговом режиме для самозанятых зарегистрировано 392 тыс. физических лиц. Количество плательщиков НДС увеличилось на 10 тыс. субъектов.По итогам первого квартала сохраняется устойчивый тренд на снижение инфляции. Темп инфляции в марте замедлился до 0,6% по сравнению с 1,0–1,1% в январе–феврале. Снижение наблюдается шестой месяц подряд: после пикового значения в сентябре 2025 года (12,9%) инфляция перешла к постепенному замедлению и по итогам марта 2026 года составила 11,0%. По прогнозам МНЭ, сохраняется высокая вероятность выхода на однозначный уровень инфляции к началу 2027 года.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1195944?lang=kk

The industrial sector of the East Kazakhstan Region continues to remain a key driver of the regional economy, accounting for about 42% of the gross regional product. At the end of 2025, the region ranked third in the country with a 9.6% share, уступив only the Karaganda and Almaty regions.Industrial growth continues: by the end of 2025, the volume of industrial output in current prices increased by 26% to 3.3 trillion tenge, of which 88% comes from the manufacturing sector (3.0 trillion tenge). This indicates an ongoing structural shift toward deeper processing of raw materials and higher value-added production.The foundation of the region’s industry consists of metallurgy (69%), the chemical industry (13%), food production (10%), and mechanical engineering (4%).Last year, 99.7 billion tenge was invested in manufacturing, while                     87.5 billion tenge was invested in mining and quarrying.Over the past three years, employment in the manufacturing sector has increased by 11%, from 42.3 thousand to 46.9 thousand people. The number of active enterprises has also grown by 6%, reaching 769 units, including 716 small, 30 medium, and 23 large enterprises.Exports of manufacturing products have increased 1.4 times over the past five years, reaching 2.7 billion US dollars. In the first 11 months of 2025, export volume amounted to 2.4 billion US dollars.The region’s key foreign trade partners remain Russia (25%), China (24.3%), Kyrgyzstan (10.2%), Turkey (7.6%), Uzbekistan (4%), and Mexico (4%).The export structure is traditionally dominated by metals and metal products, accounting for 64.9%. A significant share is also held by agricultural products and processed food (14%). Machinery, equipment, instruments, and apparatus account for 3.7% of exports.Thus, the region maintains its export-oriented profile with a dominance of metallurgical products, while gradually expanding its product range and geography of external markets.At the same time, digitalization of the industry is intensifying. Over the past five years, the share of large and medium-sized enterprises implementing digital technologies has more than doubled—from 6.7% in 2019 to 13.7% in 2024.Labor productivity has also shown significant growth: since 2018, it has increased 2.1 times, reaching 69.9 thousand US dollars per employee.Leaders of digital transformation are systemically important enterprises of the mining and metallurgical complex. Production facilities are actively upgrading equipment, introducing modern CNC machines, robotic systems, and automated quality control. This improves efficiency and reduces production costs.Among the implemented initiatives is the construction of a contact apparatus at the Ridder Metallurgical Complex of Kazzinc LLP. The project included installation of key technological equipment, including heat exchangers and gas ducts.At Ulba Metallurgical Plant JSC, modern CNC equipment for beryllium production was acquired, expanding technological capabilities and enabling the production of complex-shaped изделий.Within the Kazzinc group, a unified digital infrastructure project was implemented, including centralized IT services, standardized workplaces, and development of data processing centers. This improved information security and management of production processes.Currently, several major modernization projects are being implemented in the region. These include upgrading foundry production at Vostokmashzavod JSC, reconstruction of gas-cleaning equipment at Kazzinc enterprises, and the introduction of modern filtration systems.Significant modernization has also been carried out at Ust-Kamenogorsk Valve Plant JSC, where upgraded production capacities have improved product quality and competitiveness.Modernization of the woodworking industry continues, including the reconstruction of a particleboard plant in Ust-Kamenogorsk. At the same time, technical re-equipment of uranium production is underway at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant, including installation of modern pressing equipment.Import substitution efforts are also ongoing. At Ust-Kamenogorsk Capacitor Plant LLP, new types of products previously imported from abroad have been launched.The implementation of these projects is aimed at increasing labor productivity, reducing environmental impact, developing high-tech industries, and strengthening the industrial potential of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-kasipkerlik/press/news/details/1196243?lang=kk

A meeting of the regional akimat on the issues of the progress and completion of the heating season was held under the chairmanship of the Akim of the Kostanay Region, Kumar Aksakalov.The Head of State has repeatedly instructed to ensure the uninterrupted progress of the heating season. In our region, it is proceeding as planned and is nearing completion. No major accidents have been recorded. This is undoubtedly the result of repair work carried out in advance last summer.Significant funds are allocated annually for the modernization of heat supply facilities and engineering infrastructure. As a result, the number of accidents on heating networks in the region has decreased 6 times — from 830 in the 2022–2023 heating season to 134 in the current one.The President of the country set the task to reduce the wear and tear of heating networks to 42% by the end of 2029. In 2022–2025, we managed to reduce this indicator from 50% to 43%."Another important issue is tariffs. People should pay a fair price for the heat, water, and electricity they consume. This is possible through the installation of modern metering devices with remote data transmission functionality. Such devices allow for accurate accounting of consumption volumes and ensure transparency in calculations. The implementation of automated meters is growing: if in 2023 they were installed in 433 houses, then in 2025 — already in 1,132 houses, an increase of 3 times. Metering devices allow for savings through consumption regulation. Now, with the onset of warm spring weather, residents open their windows, and heat escapes outside. At the same time, they continue to pay for heating in full. This is not right. Our task is to more actively install heat metering units with the participation of our enterprises and local manufacturers. Such devices are already successfully operating in the region," noted the head of the region.In the current heating season, savings in one apartment building amounted to 890 thousand tenge — these are funds that remain with our citizens. The Akim of the region emphasized the need to continue installing metering devices at the same pace and ensure 100% coverage.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1196263?lang=kk

Dear residents of the region!The flood season in our region has concluded.In this regard, I would like to particularly highlight the coordinated work of all authorized bodies. Thanks to the timely measures taken, populated areas were protected from meltwater. We did not allow a single residential house to be flooded. All necessary measures were taken. No emergency situations were registered. Protective engineering structures were implemented in advance:- In 92 populated areas, 32 protective embankments with a total length of 54 km were built and reinforced;- 38 water culverts were installed;- 78 km of storm sewer were cleaned;- Snow was cleared from more than 1,600 private house yards across the region.Over 3,600 people and more than 500 pieces of equipment were involved in carrying out these works. Hydrological posts operated around the clock on the rivers, maintaining constant monitoring of water levels.Thus, the period associated with the threat of flooding in the Kostanay region passed in a routine manner. All of this is the result of our joint work.I would like to express my gratitude to all citizens who participated in the joint efforts – emergency service personnel, military personnel, volunteers, and youth.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1196315?lang=kk

An open accreditation system is being formed in Kazakhstan, based on transparency and digitalization as key tools for increasing efficiency, as previously noted by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Kemeluly Tokayev.The new digital mechanism will cover key market participants, including laboratories, certification bodies, and other organizations within the accreditation system. The new format allows for remote assessments, making procedures faster, simpler, and more transparent, reducing unnecessary formalities and eliminating corruption risks even under movement restrictions, including floods and quarantine.According to Iskander Khamitov, General Director of the RSE "National Accreditation Center" of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the remote format removes unnecessary barriers: procedures that previously required travel and personal presence are now available online using digital tools.It is important to note that the remote format is available only for scheduled assessments and organizations meeting established criteria. Initial accreditations, re-registrations, relocation, or expansion of activities will still require on-site visits by expert groups.The implementation of the mechanism will be phased. In 2026, a pilot launch will begin for approximately 300 entities: the first assessments will be conducted with on-site visits by technical experts and under their supervision. In 2027, scaling to all scheduled inspections is planned — out of 700 entities, some will be able to undergo remote assessment while maintaining high standards.The initiative creates a unified digital environment, increases the transparency of procedures, and reduces administrative barriers for businesses.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti-ktrm/press/news/details/1196321?lang=kk
