In his Address, the President paid special attention to the development of regions and attracting investment. He said that responsibility in this direction should be assigned to local leaders, and that regional akims should work actively, not just looking at the center. He also emphasized the need to create jobs and develop deep processing industries through the effective use of special economic zones and industrial zones. I consider these initiatives to be very correct.
At the same time, the recommendations regarding inspections are also encouraging. It would be much more effective for entrepreneurs if control measures by tax and state authorities were carried out in the form of warnings, rather than punishments. After all, many entrepreneurs' hired accountants may submit incorrect reports due to inexperience or ignorance. In such cases, immediately imposing a fine and punishing them would be unfair. On the contrary, if a warning were issued, it would be both a lesson and an effective way to prevent such mistakes in the future. Therefore, I believe that providing guidance through explanations rather than punishing entrepreneurs for mistakes would give a great impetus to business development.
The initiatives of the Head of State to develop the regions, attract investment, open new production facilities, and support small and medium-sized businesses, outlined in his Address, are a great support and direction for entrepreneurs. As the President noted, the leadership of each region should not only look to the center, but also actively work on its own. Increasing the efficiency of industrial zones and special economic zones will create new jobs and improve the living standards of the population.
