Kazakhstan is implementing a large-scale programme for the geological study of its subsoil resources. Detailed geological mapping of the country's territory has already begun. The area covered by geological surveys is expected to exceed 2 million square kilometres. Under the President's instructions, the state alone will invest around $470 million in geological exploration during 2026-2028," Bektenov said.

The next stage should be the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into geological exploration, data analysis, and production management processes. This will improve the efficiency of developing the country's mineral resource base, accelerate the discovery of new deposits, and enhance the quality of decision-making," Bektenov said.

The bulk of these transactions involved private individuals," the minister said.

The goal is not to punish them, but to ask for explanations as to how this situation arose. We found a large number of private individuals involved in taxi services, as well as many couriers. They come in and explain that they were indeed working as taxi drivers and were unaware that such regulatory requirements had been introduced," Takiyev said.

The C5+1 Critical Minerals Dialogue is aimed at deepening cooperation in the sustainable supply of strategic raw materials, advancing technological collaboration, and building reliable global supply chains. Against the backdrop of growing global demand for critical minerals, these areas are becoming increasingly important," Nagaspayev said.

Work is currently underway to register the project with the state authorities. These processes are undergoing the necessary approvals. The next stage will involve addressing issues related to the processing and development of the deposit," the vice minister was quoted as saying by Kazinform News Agency.

We do not see any fundamental or market-driven factors that would lead to a sharp increase in the dollar’s exchange rate, either this summer or in the autumn. We openly acknowledge that there is a seasonal effect during the summer due to the holiday season. Seasonality can also be observed in vegetable and meat prices, and even in utility tariffs. The same applies to the dollar exchange rate," Suleimenov said.

We believe the same trend will be observed this year. There will be no sharp increase," Suleimenov stressed.
