The Prime Minister also touched upon the tasks of developing the regions. He instructed the government to completely revise the procedure for their financing and to facilitate the public procurement system there.
“The President set before us large-scale tasks for the progressive development of our state, increasing the stability and competitiveness of the economy, improving the quality of life and the well-being of the people. Now is not the time to relax. It is we who are responsible for the effectiveness of the implementation of the reforms outlined by the Head of State. We must justify the trust of society. In this regard, I instruct to promptly and with special responsibility proceed to this matter,” said Alikhan Smailov, Kazakh Prime Minister.
