The President visited an exhibition of commodity producers, who took part in the “The Best Product of Kazakhstan” nomination of the contest.

A nationwide teleconference was organised during the event. It was dedicated to the presentation of the investment projects of 2013 put into operation within the State Programme of Advanced Industrial and Innovative Development. The President viewed in online mode the work of the existing objects and gave permission to launch 10 new projects in the regions.

Nursultan Nazarbayev pointed out that the country was embarking on the final implementation stage in the first five years of the industrial and innovative programme.

He also noted that boosting competitiveness of economy, providing employment, and raising the living standards are the targets to be met.

The President stressed that the Government should have a clear plan of attracting investments and each project submitted for realisation should be thoroughly analysed. 

Further development of enterprise, small and medium businesses was called by the President as a major strategic issue.

The President also highlighted that the second five-year plan had to be harmonized with the Business Roadmap-2020.

“It is important to toughen penalties for the officials’ unlawful inspections into business. That’s the work of the Attorney General's Office. Over 9 months of 2013 alone 140,000 inspections have been carried out, more than half of which are unscheduled, on false tip-offs. I have already told not to consider anonymous reports,” Nursultan Nazarbayev reminded.

In this context, the President emphasised a need to establish a special commission under the Presidential Administration for the revision of the legislation to further develop small and medium business, create tax deductions and eliminate administrative barriers.

The Government is charged to develop the program for the second quinquennium of industrialization for 2015-2019. Moreover, the Government should also elaborate the plan for the development of traditional industries.

At the end, President Nursultan Nazarbayev congratulated the winners of the “Altyn Sapa”, “The Best Product of Kazakhstan” and “Paryz” contests, having noted that the prizes were awarded for the perfect achievements of the national entrepreneurship and their great contribution to the socioeconomic development of the country and growth of the living standards of the population.

At the awarding ceremony, the President unveiled the first prize of Paryz that went to Chairman of the Board of Ust-Kamenogorsk Titanium Magnesium Plant JSC Sylvain Gehler. A special prize of Altyn Sapa – The Best Innovations in Production in 2013 went to ENRC’s founding shareholder Alexander Mashkevich. A special prize of Altyn Sapa - The Best Industrial Project in 2013 went to member of the Council of Directors of the Saryarka AvtoProm LLP Andrey Lavrentyev.
