On the public discussion of the draft order of the MTI

The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan has completed the development of amendments to the order of December 29, 2014, No. 180 "On approval of the list of essential goods". The amendments concern the expansion of the list by including additional product items.

In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 18 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On regulation of trade activities", the List of essential goods is determined by the authorized body based on proposals from central government agencies.

This draft order was prepared at the suggestion of the Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan. As part of the proposed amendments, it is planned to include such items as plywood, steel blanks, non-ferrous metal blanks and certain types of bearings in the list.
The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan published a draft of this order; from August 14 to 29, 2025, a public discussion of this draft will be held on the Internet portal “Open NPA” (link: https://legalacts.egov.kz/npa/view?id=15576573 ).
