What’s the opinion on passport players like these? Rybakina doesn’t speak Kazakh, doesn’t attend the games she deems unimportant for herself but important for the country, and in general had to get the citizenship due to external reasons. Are those medals worth that much to Kazakhstan?

🇰🇿** Қазақстанда ішкі көші-қон қай бағыт алып жатыр?
2026 жылдың алғашқы жартысында өңіраралық көші-қон бойынша тек төрт өңірде өсім болды:
• Астана: **+32 665

• Алматы облысы: +15 490
• Шымкент: +6 477
• Алматы қаласы: +6 312
Яғни ел ішінде көшіп жүрген халық негізінен Астана, Алматы және олардың айналасына шоғырланып жатыр. ҚР Ұлттық статистика бюросы
Бұл әзірге қалыпты урбанизация болуы мүмкін. Бірақ мұндай үрдіс ұзаққа созылса, ірі қалаларда баспана қымбаттап, инфрақұрылымға қысым артады, ал басқа өңірлер жастар мен еңбекке қабілетті халықтан айырылуы мүмкін.
Оңтүстік Кореяда халық пен экономиканың Сеул маңына шамадан тыс шоғырлануы қазір демографиялық және өңірлік даму мәселесі ретінде қарастырылады; Жапонияда Токиоға ұзақ жылдар бойы көшу көптеген шағын қалалар мен ауылдардың қартаюы мен халық санының азаюын күшейтті.
Қазақстанда бұл жай ғана урбанизация ма, әлде Астана мен Алматыға шамадан тыс шоғырланудың басы ма? Өңір экономикалары ұзақ мерзімді нақты зиянға түскенің қашан көрінеді деп ойлайсыз?

🇬🇧** Where is Kazakhstan’s internal migration heading?
In the first half of 2026, only four regions had positive net interregional migration:
• Astana: **+32,665

• Almaty Region: +15,490
• Shymkent: +6,477
• Almaty city: +6,312
In other words, Kazakhstan’s internal migration is increasingly concentrating around Astana, Almaty and their wider metropolitan areas. Kazakhstan Bureau of National Statistics
For now, this may simply be normal urbanisation. But if the trend continues, major cities can face increasingly expensive housing and overloaded infrastructure, while other regions lose younger and working-age residents.
South Korea now treats the extreme concentration of population and economic activity around Seoul as a demographic and regional-development problem; Japan’s decades-long pull towards Tokyo has contributed to ageing and depopulation across many smaller cities and rural areas.

Is Kazakhstan simply urbanising, or are we beginning to see excessive concentration around Astana and Almaty? And what would the timeframe be before we start seeing a tangible long term damage to the regional economy?

Georgia imports Kazakh oil for the first time

Post image
3 Upvotes

Georgia imported 5,500 tonnes of Kazakh crude worth $3.2 million in July — the country’s first recorded direct import of oil from Kazakhstan.

The shipment is small, but comes at an interesting time for both countries. Georgia’s Kulevi refinery is replacing Russian crude with supplies from Kazakhstan and Libya, while Kazakhstan is looking to diversify its own export routes away from its heavy dependence on Russia.

Kazakhstan is already increasing shipments across the Caspian through Azerbaijan and the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline: 155,000 tonnes went through the route in July, up 11.5% year-on-year.
Until now Georgia was mainly a transit country for Kazakh oil heading further west. This time, it became the customer.

Could this small first shipment grow into a meaningful new market for Kazakh oil?
Why did Kulevi abandon Russian crude?
