An applied research center that helps people navigate a changing economy. We analyze what is happening, understand how technology is changing it, and help prepare for the future.
We do not simply offer services. We solve real problems faced by the state, business, and civil society in conditions of uncertainty.
Open to collaboration, expert dialogue, and joint projects. Write to us — we’ll tell you more and discuss how we can be of help.
Of course, the main topic of the new podcast is the 530 course and everything related to it. The guest is Askar Kysykov, Director of the Talap Center for Applied Research. We figure out what happened to tenge, we figure out all sorts of scenarios, we strongly argue about the base rate (here Eldar and Askar are antagonists!) and we are trying to figure out how to continue to live for us and you, ordinary Kazakhstanis who receive salaries in tenge.
The target of study will be the growth of the index of China in Kazakhstan in 2024, analysis of its dynamics in 2020.

The fourth piece concludes TALAP’s first series of publications on strategic foresight. If the previous documents presented the global context, the development of the approach, and the results of the pilot test, this infographic captures the method architecture itself: how expert data move from the initial corpus to managerial interpretation.
The next stage was a practical test of the developed approach using materials from the first quarter of 2026. TALAP processed more than 300 publications, posts and comments by economic experts in order to test the full cycle of the Expert Signal Radar.
After studying international practice, TALAP began developing its own approach to strategic foresight in Kazakhstan. Its main purpose is to connect expert observations, facts from the economic agenda and possible consequences of change into a single analytical framework.
