Annotation: In the article, the object of research is the telecommunications industry of the info communication services market of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Despite the fact that the structure of the communications and telecommunications market of the republic has changed significantly for the better in recent years, the development of various segments of the industry has diverse regularities that form quite definite trends that determine the prospect of their development. In this regard, the aim of the research was the analysis of the state of the telecommunications industry of Kazakhstan, identification of the main players in the industry, identification of tendencies and regularities of development of its segments. As a scientific tool for solving the problem set in the article, a set of methods of statistical and analytical analysis was used, on the basis of which the main provisions of the analysis, problems and tendencies of development are justified and illustrated. It should be noted that the market of information and communication services of the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by a state presence, the essence of which is manifested both in the use of tools that form structural and technological shifts in the development of market industries, and support for its development in priority areas that determine the competitiveness of the market of the state, as a whole. One of these tools in the development of the information and communication sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”. The development of the market is accompanied by the emergence of new players in it from the technology sector, and as a result, increase of the competition for consumer through the expansion of the range of services, improving their quality and pricing policy. As a result of competition, a pool of leading operators has been formed in the sphere of telecommunications services in the republic, whose activity already go beyond the national framework. At the same time, the infrastructure of the industry, which is characterized by the dominance of analog data transmission system and the underdevelopment of digital and satellite infrastructure, still needs to be improved. Taking into account the forecasts of rapid growth in the near future in the global market of mobile telecommunications services, this will require both from operators and from the state, in general, modernization of the existing telecommunications infrastructure, as one of the important factors of Kazakhstan’s entry into the global information space.

Annotation: 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.

Annotation: This article discusses the main possible directions for coordinating the tax policy of member countries of economic and monetary unions. The regulatory role of tax instruments in regional integration associations is assessed. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that with the accelera tion of integration processes in various regions of the world, fiscal policy becomes particularly important. Therefore, the research of representatives of various scientific schools pays much attention to the analysis of the impact of the fiscal component on the economies of the member countries of the associations. At the same time, approaches to the organization of taxation within economic unions differ significantly. The activation of integration processes in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) necessitates the convergence of the legislation of the member States in the field of taxation. At the same time, the harmonization and unification of legislation on indirect taxes is particularly relevant, since these taxes have a significant impact on price formatio n and provide a significant part of budget revenues. According to the authors of the article, in the conditions of deepening integration in the EEU, a well-thought-out distribution of powers in the field of tax regulation between state and supranational bodies that ensure a consistent convergence of the tax systems of the participating countries, taking into account the economic situation and the interests of all members of the Association, becomes particularly relevant. Measures to ensure the elimination of double taxation within the Union are proposed. The authors conclude that it is necessary to harmonize the tax policies of the member States of the Eurasian Union. At the same time, the harmonization of taxation in the countries of the Union should become a condition for the formation of a currency zone on the territory of the EAEU.
