Deputy
Prime Minister – Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin reported at
the Government session on the progress of implementing the economic
provisions of the new Constitution.
As
part of the implementation of constitutional provisions, the Ministry has
developed a number of key draft laws. One of the most significant is the draft
Constitutional Law “On the Special Status of the City of Alatau.” The document
is based on Article 5 of the new Constitution, which allows for the
establishment of a “city of accelerated development” regime to stimulate the
economy of specific regions.
The
draft provides for the introduction of advanced international standards,
regulation of digital assets, development of the low-altitude economy (unmanned
aviation), as well as special tax and budget regimes. The draft law is
currently under consideration in Parliament: the first reading is scheduled for
20 March, the second for 27 March, after which the document will be submitted
to the Head of State for signing.
In
parallel, work is underway on the draft Constitutional Law “On the
Administrative-Territorial Structure of the Republic of Kazakhstan.” Its
purpose is to improve law enforcement practice in matters of the formation and
reorganization of regions, districts and cities. The new provisions are aimed
at ensuring the territorial integrity and sustainability of the state through a
clear definition of the powers of competent authorities.
