New development directions for Kazakhstan outlined in President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s state-of-the-nation address were discussed at today’s government meeting.

Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov gave a number of specific instructions to the relevant agencies, noting that the address serves as a strategic guide for the country and society.

«We are receiving not just guidance for the near-term period but a clear action plan with specific tasks, targets, and indicators. The implementation of each point will be strictly monitored, with the final result and its impact on the economy being the primary focus. The unwavering goal of the government’s work is to boost the income of citizens. Creating favorable conditions for business, ensuring employment, and the rational distribution of the state budget will enable to achieve significant economic progress»,- Bektenov said.

In the agricultural sector, the government plans to tighten control over the rational use of agricultural land, with a redesigned land withdrawal commission overseeing this effort. Next year, the volume of preferential lending to farmers will reach 800 billion tenge, involving second-tier banks. Moreover, the government aims to boost the export of domestic finished products to foreign markets.

«A new export promotion approach is being implemented, focused on cargo air transportation, primarily of agricultural and food industry products. It focuses on the markets of countries of high export interest identified in the national development plan of Kazakhstan until 2029»,- noted Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin.
