Incomes of SMEs make up 40% of the city's GDP, 60% of the budget is formed due to revenues from SMEs. That is, SMEs form the economic base of social support of the city.According to the decision of the head of state K.-Zh. Tokaev, from January 1, 2020, the corporate income tax from SMEs will be transferred to local budgets. This means that the more SMEs there are, the more revenue will come to the city budget.Therefore, this decision forms a resource base for equal development of districts according to the principle of "Borderless City". The main position of the administration is to improve the quality of life in equal conditions for all residents of the district. In this regard, the city administration is taking measures for the maximum development of SMEs. For this, additional reserves and growth points have been identified. One of the main priorities of the "ALMATY - 2020" program is "A city for business and private capital". • "Almaty Invest"  investment attraction center was established; • "Qoldaý" business center with branches in 6 districts of the city was established; • "Almaty Finance" financial company and "Almaty" microcredit organization were established. They have a differentiated interest rate policy. 7% for SMEs in the central part of the city, 2% for the outskirts.

Among them are trade, catering, health care, etc. enterprises are included. The number of incoming clients has decreased, and the income indicator has decreased. This, in turn, has a negative impact on the financial stability of SMEs. According to businessmen from Almaty, there is no place for customers to park their cars because of the bicycle lanes. That is why their arrival has decreased. Bicycle lanes are located on both sides of the road. This is a big obstacle to parking.There are 392 objects on Konaev Street. There are 115 objects on the east side, 277 on the west side. Among them, today there are 11 objects ("ArtDFlowers" flower shop, "Jewelmer" jewelry salon, "Visit" beauty salon, "Milana" clothing boutique) and others. closed. There are a total of 99 boutiques in the "Dom Odezhdy Voskhod" shopping center. Today there are 49 boutiques. Since 2018, about 50 boutiques (children's and women's clothing boutiques, crockery and bedding boutiques) have been closed.For example, the income of"SAB TRADE COMPANY" LLP, engaged in the wholesale and retail trade of beverages ("TOIMART" LLP, located at the intersection of Konaev Street, 153 Shevchenko St.) is 3 times decreased. Therefore, tax transfers were reduced by 3 times (in 2016 - 233,762,900 tenge. In 2017 - 164,851,700 tenge. In 2018 - 62,447,800 tenge). 22,955,500 tenge, in the first half of 2019 - 4,572,200 tenge. Also, the income of the restaurant "Dolcetto" ("Khan" JK, Konaev street, 114) has decreased by 3 times (turnover from 15-18 million tenge to 5-6 million tenge per month), jobs have decreased from 33 to 19 people.Baytursynov Street has 255 facilities:- on the opposite page - 107 objects, in particular, Akhmet Baitursynov's House-Museum, Nikolsky Cathedral, Nikolsky Bazaar, Flower Market, Almaty Technological University, Depo Evolution.- on the west side -118. They are: Department of Migration Services of Almaty Police Department, Pedagogical College of Foreign Languages, Kazakh Academy of Sports and Tourism. Here 2 objects  (Master doner and pharmacy) were closed. In the administrative building at 16 Baitursynov St. (east side) before the bicycle lane was introduced, there were 20 tenants, today there are 9 tenants left. Since 2018, 11 tenants have breached their leases. (2 dental clinics, "Logistic Center" LLP, "Wolfram" LLP, training center, etc.). Also, from September 1, 2019, LLP "SprintR" will also terminate the contract (30 workplaces). transfers decreased by 27.9%. (in the 1st half of 2017 – 3.2 million tenge, in the 1st half of 2019 – 2.3 million tenge) The number of visitors decreased from 9,654 to 8,429, and 12 employees were dismissed (previously 34, now 22).The tax transfers of cafe "ZhanEr.D" (Baytursynov street, 44, east side) decreased by 26.6 million tenge in 2017 and 17.4 million tenge in 2018. "Oriental" tax transfers of the kitchen (Baytursynov, 89) in 2017 - 1.7 million tenge, in 2018 - 1.1 million tenge.In this regard, the Public Council of Almaty proposes to place the bicycle lane on Konaev and Baitursynov streets on one side of the street so that it goes in both directions, like on Shevchenko street. And it is better to consider a parking lot on the other side of the street. This event will be beneficial for both entrepreneurs and cycling enthusiasts. Also, if the parking spaces are restored, it is estimated that about 300 new jobs can be opened along Konaev Street, and about 150 along Baitursynov Street. align="center">Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/26719?lang=kk

Tariff adjustment will not exceed the expected inflation limit.Thus, ticket prices on 38 routes are expected to increase by 7%, on 3 routes by 3%. However, there will be no change in the ticket price of 16 routes.This is done due to the tender applications of several carriers. And the carrier is responsible for the risks of reduced income on these routes.Tariff increase for suburban trains is 37%. This is due to the increase of base rates for passenger transportation on suburban trains.For example, the previous base price of suburban trains was 324 tenge per 100 km. And it was 3-4 times higher on highways.In order to reduce transportation costs in the suburbs, the base rate will be increased by 30%, and the price will be 464 tenge per 100 km.Thus, the upcoming amendments will allow to increase the efficiency of passenger transportation on socially important routes.Photo taken from open sourceSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/26064?lang=kk
