The head of the Presidium of NCE RK "Atameken" voiced a number of issues that need to be resolved in 2017
An expanded meeting of the Regional Council of Entrepreneurs was held in Aktobe with the participation of the Chairman of the Presidium of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Atameken" Timur Kulibayev. According to Timur Kulibayev, Atameken are constantly working on resolution of pressing issues jointly with the Government. "It is very important that the leadership of the Government has a lively connection with entrepreneurs on precisely those issues that are of interest to our businessmen.
I would like to say a few words about the work of the central office of Atameken. As you have noticed, the Prime Minister is informed on all major issues that require improvement of the business environment. This is the result of constant and daily work of the central apparatus of NCE with the Government, the Parliament, the Presidential Administration, with central agencies, law enforcement agencies. "It is clear that one of the main issues is the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs. A lot of work is being done on this issue with the Prosecutor General's Office, with central departments, noted the head of the Presidium of NCE RK Atameken. "Today, the Prime Minister confirmed that conduct joint work with the Government on reduction of the control and supervisory functions of state bodies. We hope that by the end of this year this work will be completed. We hope that out of 28 thousand control and supervisory functions of the state we will reduce their number by more than two thirds. All this will reduce the possibility of interference of officials in the activities of entrepreneurs. And we will work to ensure that subtle regulations in the legislation only create conditions for conducting honest and open business in Kazakhstan", - said Timur Kulibayev. The second set of issues that Timur Kulibayev touched upon at the meeting of the Regional Council was about privatization. "The head of state set the task until 2020 to bring the level of state ownership to 15%. This is the level of developed OECD countries and the task of entering into 30 developed countries. И сейчас The Government, the quasi-public sector, started the privatization program. In these issues, we will also wait for feedback from entrepreneurs. If the processes are difficult, non-transparent, we are waiting for your proposals and will respond quickly in the interests of business, the Kazakh business, first of all. We are interested in domestic businessmen entering the process of privatization. This also applies to communal property. We need to use various forms, except for direct competitions and sales - this is trust management with subsequent sale, this is also installments, these are PPP projects, which are also being actively discussed. First of all, in the social sphere and in medicine. All this is on the agenda. Of course, now there is no "high appetite" of business for privatization, because everyone is busy with current problems, overloaded with loans, overloaded with the difficult economic situation that we are seeing. I urge the entire business community to look at the possibilities. We all have to think together on the sources and ways of implementing privatization, "the head of the Presidium of the Scientific and Production Enterprise" Atameken "addressed to the entrepreneurs of the region.
