"We have been cooperating with scientists for several years, the main goal is to study avalanche activity and create a monitoring system. The project was financed under the scientific, scientific and technical programs of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2023-2025. A preliminary systematization of avalanche-prone areas by districts of the region was carried out, and snow-measuring routes were developed for them.

The meeting, which was attended by city and district akims, heads of departments, discussed priority areas of work on increasing the volume of investments. They noted that the decline in investment activity requires taking urgent measures and coordinating actions between state bodies, development institutions and the business community.“The main focus will be on attracting investments.

In order to avoid misunderstandings, clear explanations will be given on taxation issues and other aspects. In addition, if we want to boost the economy, we need to develop all areas, including tourism.

These initiatives are aimed at developing industry, energy and infrastructure, which should contribute to improving the economic situation in the region.During the meeting, the head of the region emphasized that the work of the investment headquarters will be reviewed to strengthen the investment potential of the region, and interaction with the Kazakh Invest, Aktobe SEC and specialized departments will be intensified. Special priority is given to supporting large projects that contribute to expanding the tax base and creating new jobs.The participants also discussed mechanisms for increasing the region's investment attractiveness, including facilitating the issuance of technical conditions, developing a logistics hub at the Aliya Moldagulova International Airport, and conducting explanatory work among businesses on taxation and state support.The regional akim noted that responsibility for achieving investment indicators lies with all leaders, and work will be evaluated based on specific results. The country's government supports the region, but the successful implementation of the tasks set requires active and coordinated interaction of all stakeholders."The work of each leader is given a specific assessment. In this regard, the government is already taking strict measures. The President of the country said that he relies on officials who are not afraid to take responsibility. The leader must make decisions and follow them through to the end. We cannot stand still, we must not allow this," the akim concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/927251
