Capital leads by the main indicators characterizing the level of development of small and medium-sized businesses. This statement was made today by the Akim of Astana Adilbek Dzhaksybekov.

"The challenge to achieve the share of SMEs of 50% in GDP has already been achieved.

Dzhaksybekov, this rate in the West Kazakhstan region is 38.8%, Almaty - 34%. The Akim noted that this figure does not include national companies and large enterprises. "Sometimes there are doubts that this is all at the expense of republican companies and national companies. Their contribution to the development of the gross regional product is reflected in the industry, accounting for 3%. All national companies pay directly to the National Fund and the national budget. 61% of GDP - is the contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises ", - said the Akim.
