Unified registry of Kazakh manufacturers to launch in 2026

Starting in 2026, Kazakhstan will launch a unified registry of domestic manufacturers. This digital platform will contain comprehensive information about the country’s enterprises and the products they produce. The database will serve as a tool for identifying actual manufacturers. Notably, unscrupulous companies will not be allowed into the registry. All others will be included automatically, and state-owned companies will give purchasing priority to those listed. Furthermore, large enterprises will be eligible for government support only if they create a network of small and medium-sized businesses around them and develop a domestic value program.

«As a result, import and production costs will decrease, leading to increased competitiveness and demand for domestically produced goods. Developing domestic value involves not only establishing new industries, but also transferring new technologies, advancing science, creating new jobs, and building new competencies. This approach will positively impact the country’s export potential, support economic diversification, and contribute to higher employment and improved public well-being,» noted Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
