Организация экономического сотрудничества и развития (ОЭСР) представила отчет «Ответственное ведение бизнеса для обеспечения устойчивой инфраструктуры в Казахстане, Монголии и Узбекистане», в котором проанализирована степень интеграции принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) в национальные стратегии устойчивого развития трёх стран. Казахстану в документе уделено особое внимание как стране, добившейся значительного прогресса в институционализации стандартов ОВБ, на системном уровне включившей их в свою социально-экономическую повестку.По оценке экспертов, Казахстан демонстрирует всесторонний и межсекторально согласованный подход к реализации принципов ОВБ. Национальная стратегия охватывает критически важные направления: охрану труда, экологическую модернизацию, декарбонизацию, развитие человеческого капитала и стимулирование участия бизнеса в ESG-повестке.В отчёте подчёркивается, что достигнутый прогресс во многом обеспечен системными мерами Правительства Республики Казахстан, направленными на поддержку отечественных производителей, развитие малого и среднего бизнеса, а также на укрепление устойчивых механизмов экономического развития.В качестве ключевых инициатив Казахстана, получившими положительную оценку ОЭСР приведены несколько критериев:Безопасность труда. Казахстан демонстрирует значительные усилия в снижении производственного травматизма и создании безопасных условий труда. С 2019 года реализуется концепция Vision Zero, направленная на достижение нулевого уровня производственного травматизма и смертности. С 2024 года внедряется цифровая карта мониторинга условий труда, позволяющая обеспечить прозрачность и контроль за соблюдением стандартов безопасности на предприятиях. Дополнительно утверждена Концепция безопасного труда на 2024–2030 годы, которая служит системной основой для профилактики профессиональных рисков и внедрения культуры охраны труда.Экологическая модернизация. Важным элементом устойчивой инфраструктуры стало внедрение механизмов перехода к экологически чистому производству. Предприятия, применяющие наилучшие доступные технологии (НДТ), освобождаются от уплаты экологического налога на выбросы. При этом государство предоставляет как финансовую, так и техническую поддержку в модернизации производств, включая субсидирование инвестиций, упрощение процедур и консультационное сопровождение.Развитие возобновляемой энергетики. Казахстан стимулирует инвестиции в проекты по использованию возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ). С 2016 года для таких проектов действуют налоговые льготы, а с 2020 года — полное освобождение от НДС и таможенных пошлин на импортируемое оборудование. Помимо фискальных стимулов, предусмотрены гранты в размере до 30% от объёма инвестиций, что делает рынок ВИЭ более привлекательным для инвесторов.Программа «Тариф в обмен на инвестиции». Этот механизм направлен на возмещение затрат инвесторов в сфере инфраструктуры и энергетики через регулируемые тарифы. Программа обеспечивает предсказуемость возврата инвестиций, способствуя привлечению частного капитала в модернизацию энергетических и коммунальных систем.Развитие человеческого капитала. Учитывая значимость кадрового обеспечения для устойчивого роста, 2025 год в Казахстане объявлен Годом рабочих профессий. Основной акцент сделан на профессиональное обучение и повышение квалификации специалистов в приоритетных секторах: энергетике, строительстве, водоснабжении и транспорте. Эти меры способствуют укреплению институционального и трудового потенциала в критически важных отраслях инфраструктуры.Существенная часть анализа в отчете ОЭСР посвящена деятельности АО «Фонд национального благосостояния «Самрук-Қазына», который признан ключевым институциональным механизмом продвижения принципов ответственного ведения бизнеса (ОВБ) и устойчивого развития в Казахстане. Фонд рассматривается как катализатор перехода государственных предприятий к ESG-ориентированным практикам, демонстрируя высокий уровень институциональной зрелости и управленческой последовательности. Его деятельность направлена не только на обеспечение возврата инвестиций в стратегическую инфраструктуру, но и на реализацию социальной миссии по укреплению локальной промышленности и предпринимательства.Среди приоритетных инструментов реализации этой повестки выделяются: заключение долгосрочных контрактов с отечественными поставщиками; системное вовлечение субъектов малого и среднего бизнеса в производственные цепочки дочерних компаний; стимулирование развития отечественных компетенций и локализация ключевых элементов инфраструктурных проектов. Подход фонда способствует формированию устойчивой экономической базы и расширению участия частного сектора в реализации стратегических задач.Особое внимание уделяется внедрению корпоративных стандартов в области прав человека, антикоррупционного комплаенса, экологического управления и оценки рисков, что отражено в политике устойчивого развития и корпоративном кодексе Фонда. «Самрук-Қазына» также ежегодно раскрывает данные в сфере нефинансовой отчетности и направляет не менее 7% чистой прибыли на социальные и благотворительные программы. Такая комплексная модель управления получила позитивную оценку ОЭСР и рекомендована к распространению в других структурах государственного сектора как пример эффективного институционального подхода к реализации принципов ОВБ.Наряду с признанием достигнутого прогресса, ОЭСР формулирует ряд рекомендаций по углублению политики ОВБ. Среди них — усиление координации между министерствами, особенно с участием Национального контактного центра; развитие процедур должной осмотрительности в добывающих отраслях; поддержка трудовых прав в рамках реализации Концепции безопасного труда; продвижение экологических стандартов через расширение применения НДТ (Наилучшие доступные технологии) и возможное внедрение системы торговли квотами на выбросы.Кроме того, предлагается расширить антикоррупционные меры с вовлечением гражданского общества в сфере инвестиций в инфраструктуру, внедрить устойчивые критерии в практику государственных закупок, а также активизировать инструменты устойчивого финансирования. Казахстану рекомендуется масштабировать модель, применяемую Фондом «Самрук-Қазына», на весь государственный сектор, включая те активы, которые находятся вне его управления. Это позволит закрепить принципы ОВБ как универсальную управленческую норму в развитии инфраструктуры и обеспечить долгосрочную устойчивость экономической модели страны. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1032572?lang=kk

One of the strategically important facilities for the city of Shymkent, the Almaar Logistics trade and logistics center, located near the international transport corridor "Western China - Western Europe", is currently operating effectively. A private investor invested 14.8 billion tenge in the construction of a multifunctional complex with a total area of 24 thousand square meters. This is a major project aimed at developing the regional economy. The center is fully equipped with modern storage technologies. A logistics system has been implemented that allows for the rapid delivery of perishable food products to consumers without having to store them for a long time. This is an effective way to maintain product quality and reduce costs. The activities of the Almaar Logistics Center make a significant contribution to ensuring the city's food security, optimizing the work of small and medium-sized businesses, and increasing export potential. Such projects will increase Shymkent's potential as a logistics hub and open up opportunities for closer ties with regional and international markets.

Due to the population growth in the Telman microdistrict of Shymkent and to prevent students from having to travel long distances to attend schools, construction of a new school began last year. The construction of this educational institution, designed for 1,200 students, began in April last year and is planned to be commissioned by the new academic year of this year. Currently, interior finishing works are nearing completion. External landscaping and engineering infrastructure works are underway at the construction site. It is expected that once the school is put into operation, the educational situation for the residents of Telman will significantly improve and the problem of student density will be resolved.

UAPF JSC (hereinafter referred to as UAPF) presents a report on the management of pension assets by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as NBRK) and investment portfolio managers (hereinafter referred to as IPM) on the enpf.kz website in the section "Statistics and Analytics - Investment Management of Pension Assets". The total volume of pension assets as of June 1, 2025, under the management of the NBRK and IPM amounted to KZT23,314.57 bln. As of this date, UAPF pension assets under the trust management of the NBRK, formed through compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as COPC), voluntary pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as VPC), amounted to approximately KZT22,834.90 bln[1]. The volume of pension assets formed by employer’s compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as ECPC), which are in the trust management of the NBRK, is KZT417.28 bln. Pension assets under IPM management amounted to more than KZT62.39 bln. Investment portfolio of pension assets managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan The National Bank, as a trustee of UAPF pension assets, pursues a balanced investment policy: invests in various types of financial instruments by currencies, countries, sectors and issuers.The main areas of investment of pension assets formed through CPC, COPC, VPC, as of June 1, 2025, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 44.48%, bonds of quasi-public companies - 9.15%, bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 3.27%, shares and depositary receipts of issuers of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 1.62%, IFO - 1.25%.The investment portfolio by currencies in which the financial instruments acquired through CPC, COPC, VPC are denominated, as of June 1, 2025, is as follows: investments in national currency - 59.37%, in US dollars - 40.63% of the pension asset portfolio.From the analysis of the structure of the income received, it follows that the income in the form of interest on securities, including on placed deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to KZT751.3 bln.

Short-term fluctuations in profitability are possible due to the volatility of foreign exchange rates, changes in the market value of financial instruments, as well as the impact of inflation.
