Business needs stability

“Our foreign partners are interested in the political situation in the republic. Everyone needs a guarantee. The sooner we set the economic course, the less anyone would ask the proper questions, and we will be more confiden t. The election will give us clarity,” Asen Zhaksylykov said.
Director of SemAZ LLP Asemkhan Duskuzhanov stressed the importance of retaining investment appeal for large market players.
“The issue of elections is very relevant, because it is extremely important for us to retain investment attractiveness. Enterprises of East Kazakhstan support the initiative of holding the early election,” Asemkhan Duskuzhanov said.
Aigul Akchalova, chairperson of the Business Women’s Council of Zhambyl Oblast, spoke on behalf of three industry associations: sewing, restaurants and hotels and outbound tourism. Her colleagues support the holding of early elections, since they will have "clear and transparent rules of the game and the opportunity to develop perspective plan of work”. Ryskul Demeubaeva, co-founder of the Aktau Association of Artisans, has shared this opinion.
"What we need is to work in a calm and stable economic environment. I believe that elections must give results that provide favorable certainty. Then we will be able to look ahead, develop plans, implement new business ideas,” Ryskul Demeubayeva emphasized.
Yessimkhan Kurmangazin, president of the Kokzhar Agro-Industrial Commodity Exchange, Kairat Moldaseitov, president of Otau Stroy Holding, Vladimir Bogdanov, director general of Bars-Nord LLP and others also have supported decision on setting the extraordinary election.
