Myrzakhmetov explained why it is necessary to get off the "needle of state support"
Only reducing the presence of the state in the economy we can increase the competitiveness of the business sector. This opinion was expressed by the Chairman of the Board of NCE RK "Atameken" during an open dialogue on the Atameken Business Channel on discussing the Strategic Development Plan of Kazakhstan until 2025.
The main provisions of the document were laid out by the Minister of National Economy Timur Suleimenov, leading Kazakh experts participated in the conversation. One of the systemic reforms that is embedded in the Strategic Plan is "Competition and competitive business". "It's no secret that in recent years, the business has been "put on the needle "of government support measures. In whatever region we come, the business speaks not about the development of competition, but more about the "Business Roadmap" and other programs.
This situation needs to be radically changed. If we set the task of increasing the share of SMEs in the economy, then it is feasible if we accept the posed challenges. The fact that the Government wants to start with itself is the key success of these reforms. The key moment - the state will reduce its share in the economy. The business will understand that the rules are changing, that it is necessary to work for competition", - Ablay Myrzakhmetov said.
Ablay Myrzakhmetov called the creation of "new human capital" and the development of public-private partnership an equally important reform.
"We analysed and found out that there are only 30% of private schools in the country. If private capital comes to health and education, unnecessary demands and barriers to business participation in PPPs are eliminated, this will give a serious impetus to the implementation of the set tasks. And in this issue it is very important that all the proposed reforms are integrated", - Ablay Myrzakhmetov said.
The relationship between business and the state radically changes the focus of the Strategy on technical renewal and digitalization, Ablay Myrzakhmetov believes.
He is sure that the mechanism of obtaining state services for business will be simplified, the terms will be reduced, the contact of the businessman and the official will be reduced.
"The bureaucracy will disappear, at the same time, it will be a challenge to state bodies, they will have to reduce unnecessary structures. Because virtually all service businessmen will be able to receive via the mobile application", - Ablay Myrzakhmetov said.
In total, the strategic plan 2025 is one of the tools of the Plan of the Nation and Strategy 2050. It includes seven systemic reforms: "New Human Capital", "Technological Renewal and Digitalization", "Competition and Competitive Business", "Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption", "Strong regions and urbanization "," Modernization of public consciousness "," Public sector as a leader of change ". As the Minister of the National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan Timur Suleimenov noted, the main goal of the new plan is to achieve a qualitative and sustainable growth of the economy, leading to an improvement in the living standards of people comparable with the OECD countries.
The key national indicators that will measure the quality of economic growth and the quality of life of the population will be a measure of progress in achieving these goals. "We will have a kind of agreement - the Government, the civil alliance and NCE RK" Atameken ", so that it would be understood that this is a common document. If the business does not accept it, if the society does not accept it, then the initiatives that we put into it will not take place, "Timur Suleimenov said.
