During his speech, the Head of State noted that Kazakhstan has put its work on supporting entrepreneurship on a new track. The President noted that this is especially important, given that small and medium-sized businesses provide jobs for almost half of the economically active population. Tokayev recalled that he signed a decree on the liberalization of the economy in May in order to further improve the business climate and investment attractiveness of the country.

"Domestic entrepreneurs are actively involved in the implementation of important country projects: they build schools, hospitals, and other social facilities, invest in the development of industry and infrastructure, and support charitable initiatives. This is a clear indicator of the creative partnership between the state and business, the maturity and social responsibility of our businessmen," he said.
As Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized, the direct task of the government and akims is to provide comprehensive support to the business community, not to close themselves off from entrepreneurs, but to constructively interact with them.
