Kazakh exporters were allocated 3.7 billion tenge (US$8.7 million) for promotion to foreign markets. Thus, the Ministry of Trade and Integration intends to reimburse part of the shipping costs from the manufacturer to the importer. According to the relevant ministry, this is a relatively new and most sought-after measure. Another novelty will be the creation of a digital single window. It will simplify and speed up the processing of procedures, as well as enable businesses to efficiently interact with the state. Another equally important step to support Kazakh producers is the holding of trade and economic missions and exhibitions. Last year, due to the difficult situation in the world, many of them were postponed. And this year, five missions have already been held in Central Asian countries and Russia. More than 160 different enterprises took part in them. As a result, export contracts worth over US$160 million were signed. Several more such events will take place before the end of the year. All these measures make it possible to provide entrepreneurs with maximum assistance and support from the state.
