President sees an opportunity to equalize economy

?From month to month the rates have not worsened. Moreover, they are improving. Following the results of the first half of 2009, there is an opportunity to equalize the economy?, the Kazakh President noted. According to him, such an opportunity has emerged due to execution of the anti-recessionary program. He noted that the financial sector has stabilized, small and medium business received the government funding, construction revived, roads are constructed, schools and hospitals are repaired within the Road map. As a result of the work on increase of Kazakhstan?s share in public purchases and tenders, businesses have received some support. ?The government fullfils all social obligations on timely payment of pensions. It is quite an achievement in the current recession?, the President said. He noted that there are however some gaps - slow utilization of the allocated funds. ?We will speak about this today?, N.Nazarbayev said.
