Within the framework of the monitoring conducted, the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of Almaty analyzed the wholesale intermediaries of the market. As a result of comprehensive measures, 9 intermediaries have been identified to date.
Also, within the framework of the regional commission, the State Revenue Department of Almaty is conducting chronometric surveys of business entities.
At the same time, the Department has carried out comprehensive work to inform and explain the requirements of trade legislation to entrepreneurs and the administration of the trading market.
