Kazakhstan to create ‘Crypto City', train 1 million citizens in AI
Kazakhstan president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at the Astana International Forum in Astana, Kazakhstan, today. ASTANA : Kazakhstan plans to establish a 'Crypto City', where cryptocurrencies can be used for purchasing goods and services, and to train one million of its citizens in artificial intelligence (AI) over the next five years. Kazakhstan president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, who announced the 'Crypto City' initiative at the Astana International Forum here, said the country is committed to investing in human capital and expanding opportunities for young professionals. 'Our immediate goal is to reduce regional disparities and strengthen the middle class,' he said. To achieve this, Kazakhstan will boost its capabilities in key sectors such as digital technologies, AI, clean energy, and value-added manufacturing. The country also plans to launch its most powerful supercomputer. 'We are placing great emphasis on AI. Our goal is to become a hub for academia and innovation by welcoming branches of foreign universities and establishing research and development partnerships,' added Tokayev. Building talent from the ground up Meanwhile, Kazakhstan's digital development, innovation, and aerospace industry minister Zhaslan Madiyev said the government aims to train one million citizens in AI within the next five years. The AI education programme will be embedded into the national school curriculum, starting with 500,000 schoolchildren and 300,000 university students. Students will be introduced to generative IT, graphics, coding, programming and other AI-related modules from a young age. 'The programme will also include adults who are interested in learning AI. Even those from rural areas will be included, with transport provided to help them attend classes,' Madiyev told reporters. He added that university students and teachers in Kazakhstan have been learning about blockchain technology since 2022. According to Madiyev, the government is working to regulate and license cryptocurrency exchanges to facilitate the use of crypto in daily transactions. 'Kazakhstan is exploring how the crypto industry can be applied across various sectors, including through standardised tenders for sales and purchases,' he said. However, he noted that enhancing cybersecurity will be a key challenge moving forward, with the government actively looking into measures to address potential threats.

OPEC+ to hike July oil output
The eight OPEC+ countries have been raising output faster than scheduled since May. (AFP pic) LONDON : OPEC+ agreed on Saturday to hike July oil output by 411,000 barrels per day (bpd), the same as in May and June, as the group of oil-producing countries continues to bring back supply more rapidly than earlier planned. Eight OPEC+ countries have been raising output faster than scheduled since May, even though the extra supply has weighed on prices. The strategy of group leaders Saudi Arabia and Russia is aimed partly at punishing over-producing allies and to win back market share, Reuters has reported. The eight countries agreed to the July increase in an online meeting on Saturday. The also discussed other options, an OPEC+ delegate said. On Friday, sources familiar with OPEC+ talks had said they could discuss a larger hike. In a statement issued after the meeting, OPEC+ cited a 'steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals, as reflected in the low oil inventories' as its reasoning for the July increase. OPEC+ pumps about half of the world's oil and includes OPEC members and allies such as Russia. While the eight are raising supply, some are being asked to temper those increases to compensate for overproducing in past months. Kazakhstan had said on Thursday that it would not cut production, prompting speculation that OPEC+ might go for a July increase larger than 411,000 bpd. Oil prices LCOc1 fell to a four-year low in April, slipping below US$60 per barrel after OPEC+ said it was tripling its output hike in May and as US President Donald Trump's tariffs raised concerns about global economic weakness. Prices closed just below US$63 on Friday. Global oil demand is expected to grow by an average of 775,000 bpd in 2025, according to a Reuters poll of analysts published on Friday, while the International Energy Agency in its latest outlook saw an increase of 740,000 bpd. The OPEC+ output increases that began in April are aimed at unwinding some 2.2 million bpd in voluntary output cuts by the eight members. Two other layers of cuts are expected to remain in place until the end of 2026.

US court ruling won't stop Trump tariffs, says ex-World Bank chief
Ex-World Bank chief Bertrand Badre says Asean nations will secure a better outcome if they negotiate collectively with the US. ASTANA : A recent US court ruling may delay the implementation of Donald Trump's tariff policy on foreign countries, but is unlikely to halt it entirely, says former World Bank managing director Bertrand Badre. He said that while the court had found flaws in the procedure used to impose certain tariffs, it did not deem the tariffs themselves unlawful. '(The court decision) might slow down the process of the tariffs, yes, but I don't think it will change the trajectory. 'Furthermore, the court didn't say that the decision was bad. It's the way they made the decision that was the issue,' Badre told FMT on the sidelines of the Astana International Forum 2025, held in the Kazakhstan capital. He said the US government may explore different methods for implementing the tariffs. Badre was a panellist for a discussion titled Trade as a Weapon: The Future of Economic Statecraft, in which experts debated the increasing use of trade policies as geopolitical tools. Speakers highlighted how high tariffs, economic sanctions, and strategic trade restrictions were reshaping global economic dynamics. Badre, CEO of BlueOrange Sustainable Capital, said the case would likely be brought before the US Supreme Court, potentially leading to greater uncertainty. '(Importers would have) already paid something (in the form of tariffs), the goods have been sold in supermarkets already with a higher price, so it's tough to kind of unwind the whole process,' he said. He added that the situation is particularly challenging for businesses unfamiliar with the complexity of the US legal system. 'Most businesspeople are not familiar with the US judicial system.' Badre also urged Asean nations to negotiate collectively with the US, rather than individually. 'If Vietnam goes on its own, then Malaysia, then Singapore, etc, that is not so great,' he said. 'The stronger you are together, the better. That is, to me, the critical point.' He warned that the ruling would complicate ongoing trade discussions. 'It adds to the negotiation process for sure. There is a risk that it will not go through. But still, you are in the negotiation process. So it will make the negotiation even more complex,' he added. Timur Turlov. During the forum, Timur Turlov, CEO of Freedom Corp, cautioned that a prolonged trade war could erode trust and confidence among major economies. 'It has not yet been disrupted because it has been built over time. But if we distrust the confidence long enough it would be difficult to rebuild,' said Turlov, who was recently recognised as Kazakhstan's richest man by Forbes' World Billionaires. He said trust and confidence in trade relations was a 'great treasure' of developed nations. 'We have seen market reaction with stock markets going up and down and try to react to this new style of global policy but buying and selling (it) is losing value (of doing business),' he added. Daniel Runde, senior vice president and director at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), noted that Trump remains popular among American voters, particularly for his stance on migration. 'Right now he remains the popular president. But let's see how we are in six months if the prices of Mercedes Benz and others will go up. Let's see how the US reacts,' he said during the forum.
