Key issues

E-commerce – should/can it be regulated? ‘Professional legal packaging of key trends’ – can regulators keep up with technology?

Balance of regulation: control by the state or self-regulatory organisations?

E-commerce – a driver of the economy. Business vs. the state – mutual expectations in moving towards a single goal – 5%. Growth indicators and a civilised market – what and who does it depend on?

To be or not to be a register of online stores?

Features of consumer protection for online and offline purchases, purchases in Kazakh and foreign online stores.
Representatives of the regulator are ready to discuss additional issues and problems, as well as ways to resolve them proposed by businesses.
