The initiative covers major shopping malls, retail complexes and supermarket chains, offering reduced prices on selected food and non-food products. Actual discounts vary depending on the retailer, product category and promotional conditions, DKNews.kz reports.
Where shoppers can find discounts of up to 50%
The Republic Day promotion involves 232 shopping and entertainment centres and retail complexes across Kazakhstan. Participating locations include some of the country's largest shopping destinations:
- Astana: MEGA Silk Way and Khan Shatyr.
- Almaty: MEGA Alma-Ata, MEGA Park and Forum Almaty.
- Shymkent: Mega Planet and Shymkent Plaza.
Festive discounts are also available at participating shopping centres in other regions. Shoppers should check individual retailers' announcements to confirm which products qualify for reduced prices.
Bereke Fest brings discounts to 417 stores
Alongside the shopping mall promotions, Bereke Fest has attracted 417 stores operated by major retail chains, including Magnum, SMALL, Astykzhan and GraMad.
The campaign extends promotional pricing to everyday shopping, including groceries and other consumer goods. However, the maximum advertised discount of 50% does not apply to every product or participating store.
Why Kazakhstan is launching the nationwide campaign
The initiative is designed to encourage consumer spending ahead of Republic Day while supporting domestic trade. For shoppers, the immediate benefit is an opportunity to purchase selected goods at lower prices.
For retailers, the campaign is expected to attract additional customers and potentially increase sales volumes. Organizers also expect the promotions to create more opportunities for Kazakhstan-based manufacturers to place their products in major retail chains.
These are the campaign's intended economic benefits rather than confirmed results. Its actual impact on retail turnover will depend on consumer participation and sales performance during the promotional period.
How to check participating stores and discount conditions
The Ministry of Trade and Integration is coordinating the nationwide initiative with local executive authorities. The complete lists of participating retail outlets and their addresses are available on the official websites of regional and city administrations.
Information about eligible products, specific discount rates and purchase conditions is provided directly by participating retailers. Consumers are advised to check these details before visiting a store, as offers may differ between locations.
Both Republic Day and Bereke Fest promotions will end on October 27, 2026, inclusive. Shoppers therefore have until the end of that date to take advantage of the announced festive offers.
We previously reported on the Bereke Fest campaign in Kazakhstan, which aimed to support domestic producers and make essential goods more affordable for consumers.
