In particular, these are the country's competitiveness, private business, industries, healthcare and education, online-conference at Zakon.kz. “During the crisis we could not achieve the task of becoming top 50 competitive countries in the world and even moved away from it. I think our work should be focused on moving forward,” Massimov said.

Millions of our people have to own shares in state resources. To make this happen we will select the companies that will become more expensive shortly. It is clear that not everyone can be entrepreneurs, but we have to give the opportunity to people,” he added. According to Massimov, this will boost development of Kazakhstan stock exchange. The Government is currently studying this issue and reviewing the experience of other countries.
