The Congress was devoted to issues of implementation of the Industrialization Map activities in the region, according to the press service of the Atameken Union. The creation of the Map will give an opportunity to estimate perspectives of the small and medium business development in the regions.  

 The Oblast authority thinks that there is sizable potential in perspective. The products of Kostanai Oblast have already filled the market of Astana, and some enterprises go out to the market of the Russian capital, at the same time products of other regions and countries dominate in the domestic market.

 Special attention in Kostanai Oblast is paid to the price of flour and bread products. The participants of the Congress considered the chances to depress the price of bread according to reduction of the flour price.

 Azat Peruashev urded to monitor private enterprises in a short-term to form the Industrial Map. According to him today there is no Map, which indicates the present situation in the real sector. Inventorying of a private sector will give an opportunity to the Government to improve the system of investment preferences and protection measures. Therefore this is a very important project of efficient management.

 During the Congress businessmen talked about their experience of getting over the crisis and told about their development perspectives. Today the main goal is to find a sales market and find new investors for the new projects. Though there are such problems as lack of electricity power, high interest rates. 

In the end of the meeting the elections of Kostanai Oblast "Atamaken Union" were held. Representatives of authorities, agricultural companies, and others were introduced to the Union. Vasiliy Rosinov, Director of "Ivolga-Holding" enterprise was elected as Head of the Oblast division of the Atameken Union.
