In Semey, an individual entrepreneur purchased Barskie salt for 108 tenge per kilogram but sold it for 150 tenge. This difference resulted in a markup of 39 percent, more than twice the established norm.Another case was uncovered at one of the city's social pavilions. There, buckwheat was purchased for 175 tenge and Akmarzhan rice for 350 tenge per kilogram. They were sold for 220 and 440 tenge, respectively.

As part of the current conscription campaign, the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is taking an important step in the training of conscripted soldiers. A new training discipline — unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operator training — has now been added to the combat training program. This will allow conscripts to acquire modern military-applied skills and master a highly demanded specialty.Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs – Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard, Major General Ansagan Baltabayev, visited the newly equipped UAV operator training classroom in the 5573 military unit in the capital and assessed its capabilities.The modern training room is fully adapted for the instruction of conscripts: here they study the fundamentals of drone structure, flight control rules, technical maintenance, and elements of tactical deployment. The course is designed to train a full combat UAV crew, which includes a crew commander, FPV drone operator, munitions specialist, and reconnaissance operator.The training process is structured so that each servicemember first masters the skills of their specific specialization, and afterward participates in group exercises that are as close to real operational conditions as possible.“Today, the training of UAV operators is reaching a new qualitative level. A complete environment for practical instruction has been created here, and this is precisely the systematic approach we need,” emphasized Major General Ansagan Baltabayev.Following the visit, the Commander-in-Chief outlined further tasks: strengthening the material and technical base, establishing an in-house repair workshop, developing a unified specialist training program, and designing an all-season training facility.The training classroom has been recommended as a model for establishing similar centers in other military units where drone operator subdivisions are being formed.The creation of such a training environment is a significant step toward enhancing the combat readiness of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan and advancing modern directions in the preparation of servicemembers. Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1109635?lang=kk

19 ноября на заседании Правительства была представлена Программа совместных действий Правительства, Национального Банка и Агентства по регулированию и развитию финансового рынка на 2026–2028 годы. Документ определяет комплекс мер по макроэкономической стабилизации, снижению инфляции, расширению внутреннего производства и обеспечению устойчивого роста благосостояния граждан.  В этой программе особая роль отводится холдингу «Байтерек» как одному из главных инструментов экономической политики Правительства. С учётом необходимости значительного прироста инвестиций Холдинг совместно с банками второго уровня станет основным источником кредитов для реального сектора — как для инвестиционных проектов, так и для новых точек экономического роста и ключевых отраслей экономики.Правительство продолжит капитализировать Холдинг «Байтерек» на сумму 1 трлн тенге в 2026 году, чтобы расширять инвестиционные возможности и поддерживать приоритетные проекты в обрабатывающей промышленности и инфраструктуре. Со своей стороны Холдинг будет каждый год привлекать до 7 трлн тенге на финансовом рынке — как из внешних, так и из внутренних источников.В этом году Холдинг доведет общий размер господдержки до 8 трлн тенге. На сегодняшний день холдингом «Байтерек» оказана поддержка субъектам предпринимательства на общую сумму 5,7 трлн тенге. К примеру, из них около 1,7 трлн тенге направлено на поддержку порядка 9,6 тыс. проектов МСБ, а 860,3 млрд тенге — на поддержку 14 тыс. сельхозтоваропроизводителей. В результате было создано около 29 тыс. рабочих мест. Благодаря таким мерам ожидается прирост экономики на 1,3 процентного пункта.Холдинг будет увеличивать объемы кредитования, что даст бизнесу больше доступа как к оборотному, так и инвестиционному (долгосрочному) капиталу.В ближайшие годы Холдинг сосредоточится на проактивной инвестиционной работе — поддержке проектов, которые создают новые высокопроизводительные предприятия, увеличивают экспорт и снижают зависимость от импорта, усиливая развитие экономики. В результате будет сформирован пул из 15–20 крупнейших инвестиционных проектов в таких отраслях как ГМК, машиностроение, нефтегазохимия и химия, энергетика, туризм и пищевая промышленность, обеспечивающих наибольший мультипликативный эффект и способных существенно повлиять на качественное развитие отраслей и регионов.В агросекторе планируется активизация финансирования проектов по глубокой переработке продукции АПК. Это позволит увеличить долю переработанной продукции в АПК на 70%. Ежегодно в стране будут запускаться более 100 новых инвестиционных проектов и производств в перерабатывающей отрасли АПК.Для активизации инвестиционной деятельности в Холдинге будет создано единое инвестиционное окно — механизм, который позволит на одном месте проводить отбор проектов, правильно их структурировать, привлекать инвесторов, а также обеспечивать полное сопровождение и контроль хода выполнения.При этом Холдинг продолжит и расширит поддержку малого и среднего бизнеса. Для этого будут активнее использоваться гарантии по кредитам, а финансирование будет направляться на самые важные и нужные направления.Особое внимание уделят проектам по импортозамещению, поддержке отечественных производителей, а также развитию инфраструктуры в энергетике и транспорте. Такие проекты будут реализовываться через механизм «заказ на инвестиции» с учётом потребностей и особенностей каждого региона.Холдинг «Байтерек» усилит помощь компаниям, у которых есть экспортный потенциал, объединяться, находить новых трейдеров и продвигать свою продукцию на зарубежных рынках. Для продвижения продукции АПК на зарубежные рынки создается Фонд «ADAL».Также планируется усилить присутствие Казахстана на приграничных рынках. Это включает продвижение услуг компаний Холдинга — например, ипотечных продуктов Отбасы банка.Чтобы казахстанские производители могли успешнее конкурировать за рубежом, предусмотрено финансирование экспортных проектов в иностранной валюте. Это позволит бизнесу работать на внешних рынках на более выгодных условиях.Реализация новой модели работы существенно усилит влияние холдинга «Байтерек» на ускоренное и качественное развитие экономики, подтверждая, что обновлённая инвестиционная политика Холдинга станет одним из ключевых драйверов экономического роста страны.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1109518?lang=kk
