Possibilities of Application of Foreign Experience in State Regulation of E-Commerce Market in Kazakhstan

Abstract

Currently, the e-commerce market in Kazakhstan is developing rapidly, establishing game rules within market relations and self-regulation. However, the immaturity of the state regulation system of the e-commerce market does not allow it to contribute to its development fully. The work is devoted to studying the foreign experience of state regulation of the e-commerce market in terms of its applicability in Kazakhstan. There were methods of systematization, analysis and synthesis, criterion analysis, and comparative evaluation in research. In the article, the authors justified the need for state regulation of e-commerce in Kazakhstan, which is due to the presence of positive and negative effects of the presence of electronic methods of commerce in the economy. To develop recommendations on state regulation of the e-commerce sphere, the experience of such countries as the United States, China, and Singapore, which have achieved significant success in the promotion of e-commerce, is studied. In particular, the specifics of government policy regarding regulatory impact, tax regulation, and support for e-commerce businesses are examined in detail. The significance of the study results lies in the priority development of the e-commerce market in Kazakhstan, which is called the driver of economic growth of the country, according to the provisions of the «Roadmap for e-commerce development in Kazakhstan until 2025» implemented under the state program «Digital Kazakhstan». In addition, the study results can be used to prepare training materials in the undergraduate and graduate educational programs in the «E-commerce» discipline.
