Almost every 5th Astana resident owns a business,” Tasmagambetov said. He added that trade was growing in the city: “In 2007 Astana share in the country's industry made 4.7 percent, in the first half of 2012 it made 3.6 percent. Starting from 2007 the share of Astana in the overall trade increased from 18 to 24.5 percent,” the Mayor said. According to Astana’s Akim, the growth of small and medium business helped improve the employment rate and the social climate in general.
