Abstract
This article discusses the development of the transport and logistics policy of the state and the development of logistics in general. Despite the fact that the state is making every effort to develop this area, there are a lot of unresolved problems. Kazakhstan is a transit state, but you should not limit yourself to this direction and consider not only mega projects, but also «real» investments. The economy of any state depends on the «circulatory system», which is transport logistics. Drastic changes in supply chain management are needed, specialists and personnel are needed, it is necessary to increase the level of development of transport science and education. In the state transport programs, it is necessary to create conditions for the development of export-import transportation, reducing transport costs, increasing efficiency and improving the quality of intra-republican logistics. In the article, the authors share their vision of improving the indicators of the LPI logistics efficiency index in Kazakhstan, which is an integrated indicator of the quality and efficiency of the transport and logistics complex (TLC) in a particular country. In 2018, according to this assessment system, Kazakhstan ranked 71st in the world. First of all, it is proposed to improve and structure approaches to the development of transport infrastructure. It is recommended to make any decisions based on a scientific approach, professional forecast, careful analysis, avoiding a situation where administrative decisions are made first, and then feasibility studies are «adjusted» to them. Currently, various forms of attracting and using capital from outside are used for the reconstruction of the transport and communication complex, since for effective integration into the world space, Kazakhstan first of all needs to create conditions that provide access to the sea and ocean coast.
