  • THE COVID-19 CRISIS in KAZAKHSTAN 20 April 2020
    THE COVID-19 CRISIS IN KAZAKHSTAN 20 April 2020 COVID-19 update Cases: Kazakhstan announced its first case of Covid-19 at the beginning of March. As of 20 April, the country had reported 1775 confirmed cases and 19 deaths1. Capacities of the health system: Data from 2016 indicate an availability of 4.8 beds/1000 people, roughly in line with OECD average, and a healthcare workforce of about 252 000, including 74 600 doctors. However, coverage varies greatly across regions, to the detriment of rural areas (61 physicians per 10 000 population in urban areas compared to 15 physicians per 10 000 in remote areas). Many OECD countries with similar level of income (e.g. Hungary, Poland, Turkey) continue to outperform Kazakhstan in health outcomes. Economic impact Containment: Educational institutions, public places, and non-essential businesses are closed, the working hours of public transport are limited, and the cities of Nur-Sultan, Almaty, and Shymkent are quarantined. Business activity may gradually start to resume in Nur-Sultan and Almaty from 20 April. Box 1 provides an estimate of the order of magnitude of the potential impact of these confinement measures on activity and GDP. Short-term indicators: Experts estimate that 300,000 SMEs have stopped working nation-wide. In Almaty, the number of workers in factories decreased by 266 000 people and 80% of entrepreneurs have suspended their activities. At least 1.5 million citizens are estimated to be on unpaid leave or have lost their jobs due to the outbreak of Covid-19. According to official data, SMEs in the sectors most likely to be severely affected (trade, tourism, and catering) are estimated to employ over 1.6 million workers.

  • Kazakhstan, December 2006
    Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Country Profile: Kazakhstan, December 2006 COUNTRY PROFILE: KAZAKHSTAN December 2006 COUNTRY Formal Name: Republic of Kazakhstan (Qazaqstan Respublikasy). Short Form: Kazakhstan. Term for Citizen(s): Kazakhstani(s). Capital: Astana (formerly Aqmola) became the official capital of Kazakhstan in 1997, succeeding Almaty (formerly Alma-Ata) and moving the national government from the far southeast to the industrial north. Other Major Cities: Almaty, Karaganda, Öskemen, Pavlodar, Shymkent, and Taraz. Independence: The recognized date of independence is December 16, 1991, when the Republic of Kazakhstan split from the Soviet Union. Public Holidays: The national holiday is October 25, Republic Day.

Russian Orthodox citizens celebrate Christmas on January 7. Flag: The flag has a sky-blue field with a golden sun and eagle in the center and a vertical golden ornamental strip on the left side. Click to Enlarge Image HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Until the arrival of the Russians in the eighteenth century, the history of Kazakhstan was determined by the movements, conflicts, and alliances of Turkic and Mongol tribes. The Kazakhs’ nomadic tribal society suffered increasingly frequent incursions by the Russian Empire, ultimately being included in that empire and the Soviet Union that followed it. The earliest states in the region were the Turkic Kaganate, established in the sixth century, and a state established by the Qarluq confederation in the eighth century. Islam was introduced by Arabs who entered Kazakh territory in the eighth and ninth centuries.
