Brussels, November 12, 2025 – The 44th annual meeting of the Berlin Eurasian Club took place in the capital of Belgium, focusing on the theme “The Middle Corridor and Global Gateway.” The discussions centered on Kazakhstan’s growing role in shaping a new architecture of transport connectivity between Europe and Asia.The meeting brought together representatives of government from Kazakhstan and the European Union, business associations, expert and academic communities, logistics companies, and financial institutions.In his welcoming remarks, Kazakhstan’s Ambassador to Germany, Nurlan Onzhanov, emphasized that Kazakhstan is becoming an increasingly significant part of the European Union’s supply chain geography.“This is not a temporary phenomenon but an objective long-term trend based on the dynamic growth of our economic potential and the development of infrastructure ensuring intercontinental connectivity. We are strengthening our partnership with the European Union and Germany, especially in the fields of transport and logistics,” noted the Ambassador.Roman Vassilenko, Kazakhstan’s Permanent Representative to the EU, highlighted that this event takes place on the eve of an important milestone in Kazakhstan–EU relations — the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, which covers 29 areas of bilateral and regional cooperation.He drew participants’ attention to the dynamically developing Kazakhstan–EU relations, where issues of transport connectivity are becoming a key factor in further strengthening multifaceted cooperation. Vassilenko also underlined the European Union’s strong interest in developing the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR), noting that around €20 billion has been announced for its support, and called on European institutions to move towards the practical implementation of projects aimed at overcoming the so-called “bottlenecks” of the Middle Corridor.Michael Harms, Executive Director of the German Eastern Business Association, noted that the Global Gateway is not only about linking China and Europe — it also represents the development of interregional trade and the strengthening of the EU’s neighborhood policy by connecting Central Asia, the Caucasus, and the EU through modern, sustainable transport and digital corridors.“When trade flourishes, investment follows. Reliable logistics ensure that goods reach markets on time, creating new value chains and industrial partnerships. Without a functioning transport infrastructure, even access to critical raw materials loses its meaning,” emphasized Mr. Harms.Zhanybek Taizhanov, Vice Minister of Transport of the Republic of Kazakhstan, delivered a presentation outlining the main directions for the development of the country’s transport sector.During the panel discussion, participants examined prospects for cooperation in specific sectors, as well as the experience and plans of German and European logistics companies seeking to expand their operations in Kazakhstan.The participants highlighted that the development of transport infrastructure, diversification of routes, and transition toward environmentally sustainable solutions are becoming key areas of partnership between Kazakhstan and the European Union.The meeting of the Berlin Eurasian Club reaffirmed that Kazakhstan is becoming a central element in the new system of transport connectivity between East and West, strengthening the region’s role in the global economy.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa/press/news/details/1105572?lang=kk

В Академии государственного управления при Президенте Республики Казахстан состоялся круглый стол на тему «Новые подходы к фискальной и монетарной политике Республики Казахстан», приуроченный ко Дню финансиста. Мероприятие прошло в формате экспертной сессии на площадке дискуссионного клуба «Экономист».В работе приняли участие первый вице-министр национальной экономики РК Азамат Амрин, вице-министр финансов РК Ержан Биржанов, директор департамента денежно-кредитной политики Национального банка РК Рустем Оразалин, директор департамента анализа и отчетности Высшей аудиторской палаты РК Нурлан Катренов, председатель совета директоров ЕНУ имени Л.Н. Гумилева Жаксыбек Кулекеев, финансовый аналитик Расул Рысмамбетов, профессор Международного университета «Астана» Серик Джумабаев, а также представители государственных органов, экспертного и научного сообщества, магистранты и докторанты Академии.В ходе обсуждения участники рассмотрели вопросы совершенствования бюджетных правил и долгосрочного планирования. Свой доклад на эту тему представил первый вице-министр национальной экономики РК Азамат Амрин.Он напомнил, что в марте этого года был подписан новый Бюджетный кодекс. Перед его разработкой проведена оценка Кодекса 2008 года на соответствие стандартам Международного валютного фонда.«Рекомендации международных экспертов легли в основу обновлённого Бюджетного кодекса. Его нормы уже применены при формировании республиканского бюджета на 2026–2028 годы и разработке десятилетнего прогноза развития. Темпы роста расходов жестко увязаны с потенциалом экономики и целевым уровнем инфляции: по бюджетным правилам они составят 108,7% в 2026 году, 109,1% - в 2027-м и 109,3% - в 2028-м против 121% до реформы. Гарантированный трансферт из Нацфонда зафиксирован на уровне 2,77 трлн тенге ежегодно в 2026-2028 годах, привлечение целевого трансферта не предусматривается», - добавил АзаматАмрин.Он отметил, что отказ от целевых трансфертов стал возможен благодаря новому Налоговому кодексу, который обеспечивает рост поступлений в бюджет и снижает зависимость от средств Национального фонда. При этом бюджетная политика будет строиться с соблюдением установленных ограничений по государственному долгу. На 2026 год дефицит республиканского бюджета запланирован на уровне 2,5% к ВВП, с поэтапным снижением до 0,9% в 2028 году. Одновременно предусмотрен рост бюджета развития: его объём увеличится с 2,0 трлн тенге в 2025 году до 2,9 трлн тенге в 2026 году. Эти средства направят на приоритетные проекты, отбираемые на основе планов развития государственных органов и регионов, а также их вклада в экономический рост.Изменены подходы к исполнению бюджета. Если ранее основной задачей считалось полное освоение средств, то теперь внимание сосредоточено на достижении конкретных результатов и оценке их эффективности. Введена возможность использования неосвоенных средств с начала следующего финансового года без уточнения бюджета, что повысит гибкость и оперативность управления финансами.Кроме того, повышен статус казначейства, которому предоставлено право управлять ликвидностью бюджетных средств. Теперь возможно временное привлечение свободных остатков местных бюджетов и организаций квазигосударственногосектора с возвратом в течение того же года.Как подчеркнул первый вице-министр, все принятые меры направлены на повышение устойчивости государственных финансов, прозрачность бюджетного процесса и эффективное использование государственных ресурсов.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1105088?lang=kk
