The cities folded in foreign countries distinguish three organizational models of branding. First model – administrative – here, forming of brand of territory the public and local organs of power take the lead. Second organizational model – branding is initiated by business and divided into two types. First type – "export", according to this variant the basic task of municipal brand consists in stimulation of sales of commodities and services of local producers. Second type – "import", this variant of business model is branding on purpose to attract (to import) new business and investments in a city. The third model of organization of branding – civil is implies that realization of branding is initiated by different public associations or separate interested citizens. All three variants of branding befit the Kazakhstan cities and territorial educations, but priority direction will become is the European model with participation administration.

Protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the individual is one of the main activities of the state. And the protection of human rights begins with respect for the rights of the child, who, because of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special care from the state and society. The transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the 1990s to a market economy, accompanied by a deep economic crisis, had a negative impact on the traditional spheres of social structure: work, family, education. As a result, at that time Kazakhstan and a number of other CIS countries turned into exporting countries of children, supplying them to foreign countries for adoption by foreign citizens. Numerous facts of adoption of children-citizens of the CIS countries by foreign citizens, which are essentially the sale of minors, often indicate a criminal and mercenary nature on the part of officials of guardianship and other state bodies.

Rapidly changing trends in development of the countries’ economies require rational approach to regulation of innovative activity and investments directed to organization of real economy sector. At the same time, for analysis of current state policy in innovative development system fully it takes to assess effectiveness of regulation innovative activity mechanisms in the economy of Kazakhstan. In this article an assessment of mechanisms of innovative activity regulation in Kazakhstan in global system of competitiveness is carried out. For this purpose, an expert assessment system is used, which is realized as method of Global Competitiveness Index of World Economic Forum (WEF). The authors investigate ranking of WEF in Kazakhstan economy, in particular, assessment of carrying out of country’s innovative activity. Thus, purpose of research is to assess mechanisms of innovative activity regulation in Kazakhstan in a global system of competitiveness. Methodology – synthesis, content-analyze, accommodation, monographic method, factor analysis, economic-statistical research method. Carried out assessment of mechanisms of innovative activity regulation in Kazakhstan in global system of competitiveness allowed fully assess effectiveness of regulation innovative activity mechanisms in economy. Researching subindices of International rating of World Economic Forum for 2017-2018 in relation to 2013-2014 authors noted that in Kazakhstan today there is decrease in all subindices of rating and factors (“Basic requirements”, “Business sophistication”), except for “Innovation” subindex. This subindex was significantly decreased due to sharp deterioration in macroeconomic environment, which is directly related, in opinion of authors, to significant losses in revenues from oil export. This in turn affected deterioration of budget’s indicators. There is special attention to place and role of innovative activity regulation in country’s socio-economic policy. Organizational-methodological problems during realization of innovative policy in Kazakhstan are also in details investigated, which makes it necessary to solve them in order to achieve innovative policy’s efficiency at regional and national levels.

The article describes the results of a study of the effectiveness of the standards being implemented in railway transport. A general view of efficiency and standardization was analyzed. It was studied which document regulates the application of standardization in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Further, the international railway standard IRIS «International Railway Industry Standard» was taken as a basis, which, in turn, is based on the international standard ISO 9001. A study of the methods and types of effectiveness of standards was carried out, as well as an analysis of the applied international standard in the field of railway transport IRIS. The purpose of this standard is to create a business management system that allows for continual improvement, with an emphasis on preventing and reducing delivery defects. It is important to note that the effectiveness of standardization is evidenced by examples showing that ignoring standards turns out to be huge losses for a company for a number of reasons, for example, because its products have not been certified for compliance with a specific standard; due to the additional costs of the company for reworking products that are not manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the standards in the country of export. An analysis of the effectiveness of standardization work in the railway industry can be expressed in relative terms of the effects obtained as a result of the application of the standard: for example, in an increase in the level of safety or in economic growth. The basis for determining the actual effect is the actual level of production that existed at the given enterprise before the introduction of the standard. The measures that can be applied in order to increase the efficiency of solving the problems of developing standardization in the field of railway transport have been studied. Such standardization as one of the elements of technical regulation can provide a contribution to economic growth in excess of the corresponding indicators from the introduction of patents and licenses.

The article reveals the dynamics of grain production in the Republic of Kazakhstan, grain exports by countries. The author analyzes the grain market (sown area, yield, gross harvest). Kazakhstan has a significant potential for grain exports. Grain exports are important for the country's economy. The country is one of the six largest grain exporters in the world. This is due to the high milling properties of Kazakh grain, the quality indicators of Kazakh flour are highly valued in many countries of the world, which allows Kazakh wheat to be competitive in the world market and provide markets in various countries of the world. The main export destinations are Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. The article analyzes the main trends in the development of the grain market and gives an assessment of the state.

The main problem: This article is devoted to the key problems of the fuel and energy complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan: 1) lack of production capacity to meet the growing demand for energy and fuel from the economy and the population. Increased demand for electricity and heat, which will require the commissioning of new generating capacities.There is already a shortage in the fuel markets. Modernization and bringing the existing oil refineries (hereinafter referred to as refineries) to full capacity will not allow providing the domestic market until 2030; 2) the export orientation of raw materials, the dependence of the economy on the export of energy resources. In order to attract technology and investment in the oil and gas and nuclear industries, agreements on the extraction of energy resources were concluded with international export companies. In the medium term, Kazakhstan may face a shortage of oil for domestic refineries, if measures are not taken to stimulate its refining within the country. The uranium mined is fully exported; 3) high energy intensity of the economy, low level of energy efficiency. There is a high potential for increasing the efficiency of energy use both in the electric power industry and fuel production, and at the level of final consumption – in industry and housing and communal services; 4) decrease in the replenishment and quality of the resource base in the oil and gas, coal and nuclear industries; 5) low environmental friendliness of technologies used in the fuel and energy complex. Purpose: The purpose of the article is to reveal the problem in the field of ensuring the fulfillment of international obligations between different countries and their own energy sufficiency by gradually changing the structure of energy production. Methods: Studying the experience of increasing the efficiency of the use of energy resources and energy saving as a priority of the state policy of the country. Analysis of production capacity with a constantly forecasted shortage of primary energy resources and insufficient growth of capacity for the production of electricity and heat. Consideration of the possibility of compensating for the shortage by saving energy resources, increasing tariffs for energy carriers, as a stimulating factor for their effective use. Results and their significance: The results of this article will reflect the problems of energy, as the most important driving force of global economic progress. The well-being of the people depends on the state of the country's energy sector, therefore there is an urgent need to solve the emerging problems. The global energy problem is, first of all, the issue of stable and efficient supply of fuel and energy to mankind. Today, the energy sector of Kazakhstan is focused on fuel resources, since the country is provided with hydrocarbons and other energy resources. About 72 % of electricity in Kazakhstan is generated from coal, 12,3 % from hydro resources, 10,6 % from gas and 4,9 % from oil. Thus, the four main types of power plants generate 99,8 % of electricity, while alternative sources account for less than 0,2 %.
