In Kazakhstan, it is planned to launch a number of new digital services for citizens and businesses and modernize the architecture of “electronic government”. These and other topics were discussed at a meeting of the Commission on Digitalization Issues chaired by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Alikhan Smailov.
Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry Bagdat Musin reported that a list of 66 digital initiatives of government agencies has been developed to date, which are planned to be implemented this year.

The Prime Minister approved the presented initiatives, noting that the promotion of digitalization and the expansion of the proactive format for the provision of services will have a positive impact on the quality of life of the population.
The meeting also considered the progress in the digitization of land relations. As part of this work, a phased launch of the Unified State Real Estate Cadastre (EGKN) is planned, on the basis of which a public cadastral map of land resources and an electronic trading platform will be implemented.
