A new system of state planning in Kazakhstan: the analysis and problems

The purpose of the research is to identify the features and vulnerabilities of the new state planning system (hereinafter referred to as the SPS) in Kazakhstan, approved in February 2021.

Methodology. A systematic and comparative analysis of documentation in the field of SPS was used as a research method.

Originality / value of the research. In the conditions of new challenges and acceleration of historical time, the system of state planning and management in the country needs constant analysis and modernization. The issues of strategic and state planning of the country have been reflected in many works by domestic and international authors. However, due to the relative novelty, the recent changes in the SPS have not yet been extensively analyzed, which makes this study relevant. The conclusions of the study can be useful from the point of view of further improvement of the SPS and increasing the effectiveness of the implemented state measures.

Findings. The results indicate that the new SPS has retained its multi-stage nature, despite attempts to optimize documents. Another problem was the low autonomy of local authorities in matters of strategic planning. A separate block of questions touched on the methodological and substantive shortcomings of the documents of the SPS. The last conclusion is the weak harmonization of budget and strategic planning.
