Trade development program in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2010 - 2014 years (стр. 11 )

3) develop criteria for the competitive selection of the administration utilities market, the system of assessment and management of its activities on the part of local executive bodies;

4) to develop the practice of promoting direct sales of socially important goods to the population through trade fairs.

The development of logistics systems and transit potential of the country.

Advantageous geographical location gives Kazakhstan a transit bridge between Europe and Asia, Russia and China.

Transit development entails a significant multiplier effect in terms of the development of domestic and foreign trade, roadside service, the formation of an effective and well-developed commodity infrastructure, lowering the cost of goods and services.

Of particular interest in the present conditions of the transport services market in Kazakhstan is the formation of integrated transport and logistics systems in regional and interregional sections providing coordinated interaction regions as part of a single economic space in the country.

Their operation is based on the application of modern logistics technology organization of freight and goods movement. These include container and piggyback transport and technological systems, logistics technology «just in time» (just in time) and the "door to door"; Technology organization of transport and distribution process through a network of freight terminals, in which the accumulation and processing of goods, service trade flows and delivery of goods to the final consumer.

In Kazakhstan, the share of expenditure on transport and logistics services in the field of trade is low and does not exceed 1% of GDP, while in Europe for logistics accounts for about 7% of GDP.

Based on the foregoing, it is necessary to develop and build a competitive transport and logistics system, thus creating a favorable environment for investment and development of the trading system of Kazakhstan as a whole. It is estimated that the existing framework for the transport of cargo and break-bulk containers in intercity satisfies a given time no more than 30% of the demand.

The dynamics of the Kazakhstan market of logistics services in the last two or three years determined by the growth needs in transportation and warehousing. Expected growth rate of transport and logistics services - about 30% per year, while in 2004 - 2008 they were 6 - 7% per year.

The average demand in Kazakhstan warehouses in 2009 was 6.2 million square meters The ratio of supply and demand in Kazakhstan is 0.84. In fact, there is 5.2 million square meters of warehouse space of commercial enterprises, of which 2% - warehouses of class "A" (modern professional warehouses), 13% - warehouses of class "B" (semi-warehouses) and more than 85% - unsuitable storage class "C". Experts estimate the projected growth of the market of storage services is 25 - 30%.

For the formation of the structure of the wholesale trade is necessary to establish channels of goods to major domestic producers through the development of transport and logistics services, which will create favorable conditions for the release of Kazakh producers in foreign markets. In this regard, it is necessary to develop high-quality logistics services in the field of storage. Given the specificity of functioning of logistics systems, requires their classification by type of transport, distribution function, by type of service provided.

In general, it is necessary to develop a long-term program (roadmap) of the logistics system in Kazakhstan (eg, 2020), allows for the creation of transport and logistics centers in the network-wide transport nodes and forming on the basis of their regional and interregional transport and logistics systems.

If we talk about international corridors, their role in the development of transport and logistics systems in Kazakhstan is important, for example, a corridor "North-South" links the European northwest and Scandinavia with Central Asia and the Persian Gulf. Route "North-South" is based on the powerful and extensive transportation network of Russia, Iran and India.

The total length of the corridor from the port of Bombay (India) to Saint Petersburg is 7200 km. According to our experimental carriage term transportation corridor from the Asia-Pacific region and the Persian Gulf through Iran, the Caspian Sea, Russia and later in Eastern and Western Europe was 25 days, compared with the current sea through the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea - 45 days. It is also assumed that the cost of transporting one container on these corridors will be 2250 vs. 2500 USD on the traditional sea routes.

Meanwhile, Kazakhstan participates in the TRACECA program. The project "Transport Corridor Europe - Caucasus - Asia" (TRACECA), adopted at a conference in Brussels in May 1993. In these countries should be conducted program of the European Union (EU) to provide technical assistance (TA) for the development of the transport corridor of the West-East Europe, along the Black Sea, through the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea to Central Asia. In addition, currently under reconstruction transcontinental corridor "Western Europe - Western China"

The total length of auto corridor along the route St. Petersburg - Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod - Kazan - Orenburg - Aktobe - Kyzyl-Orda - Shymkent - Taraz - Kordai - Almaty - Khorgos - Urumqi - Lanzhou - Zhengzhou - Lianyungang is 8 thousand. 445 km. Of these, 2 thousand 233 km will pass through the territory of Russia, 3 thousand 425 km. - PRC. In Kazakhstan, the auto corridor length is 2 thousand. 787 km, it passes through five areas: Aktobe, Kyzylorda, South Kazakhstan, Zhambyl and Almaty.

The main positive indicator of the project in comparison with existing alternative corridors (road Transsiberian, sea via the Suez Canal) is its length and the time spent in transit. If using a marine corridor travel time reaches 45 days, and on "Transibu" 14 days, then the corridor "Western Europe - Western China", from the port of Lianyungang to the borders with the European states, the travel time will be about 10 days. The project will provide trade flows in three main areas China - Kazakhstan, China - Central Asia, China - Kazakhstan - Russia - Western Europe. Moreover, transit development requires appropriate infrastructure roadside service.

To do this:

1) The inclusion of the transport infrastructure of Kazakhstan in the international information and referral systems;

2) the establishment of trade and logistics centers in the territory of Kazakhstan as a regulator of trade flows in the international transport corridors and existing hubs in the Central Asian region, in particular:

  creation of the border areas and strategic transport hubs republic of transport and logistics facilities (centers) as the basic elements of the organization of trade and economic relations between the countries of the Customs Union, especially in regions with cross-border location - Almaty, Mangistau, Jambul and South Kazakhstan region;

creation of logistics systems around major consumer markets of the country, in the cities of Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Uralsk, Kyzylorda;

creating a system of transport and logistics centers in the border crossing points "Khorgos" and "drag" the (West Kazakhstan) - Ozinki (Russia) as areas with high investment potential, located at transport hubs, linking transport resources existing international road and rail transport corridors - Central Asian railway corridor and road corridor "Western Europe - Western China" in Almaty region;

development roadmap unified logistics system of Kazakhstan (the model), which unites the international transport and logistics centers in the border areas in the structure of the special economic zone "Cross-border trade and economic zone" Khorgos - Eastern Gate "," Cross-border trade and economic zone "Taskala-Ozinki" and special economic zone "Seaport Aktau", as well as in the South Kazakhstan region;

along international transport corridors to provide allocation of land for construction of road infrastructure (service) and to ensure the supply of engineering infrastructure to the data objects.

Creating favorable conditions for the development of domestic production.

Customs and tariff policy. From 1 January 2010, operates a customs union, which provides a number of advantages for potential foreign investors, allowing to expand markets, reduce transportation costs and customs export goods, simplify the tax system for transit of goods through Russia and Belarus.

In this regard, from 2011 to 2014 is necessary to improve state regulation of Kazakhstan, both individually and in the framework of the Customs Union, by:

1) the adaptation of the legal framework to the new conditions through:

securing the legal status of the National Organization for the development and promotion of export and economic instruments to stimulate exports, as well as the introduction of a mechanism of application of tariff quotas in the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the regulation of commercial activities" in the part;

development and implementation of policies, procedures and regulations to effectively coordinate the positions of the parties in the framework of the Customs Union and consider them in the framework of the decisions of supranational bodies that will ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of the functioning of supranational bodies of the Customs Union;

2) to promote the upgrading of production and improve the competitiveness of Kazakh products through:

creating conditions for the importation of high-tech equipment, components, finished products for production purposes to help improve the technological level of domestic production and have no analogues in the countries of the Customs Union (developing proposals for a meeting of the Commission of the Customs Union on reducing or zeroing import duties);

approving the schedule changes import and export duties, purposefully linked to the implementation of the state program on forced industrial-innovative development of Kazakhstan and sectoral programs, as well as similar documents in the countries - partners in the Customs Union;
