Social spending of budget must be preserved – Nazarbayev

“The Parliament has to discuss and adopt the bill on the three-year national budget. The document will determine the principles and approaches of the country’s budget policy for 2017-2019 with the consideration of global tendencies and risks which I have spoken about before. We need to preserve budgetary expenses on social package, I mean pensions, allowances, scholarship allowances and other social payments,” noted N.Nazarbayev.

He stressed that Kazakhstanis’ living standards must not fall.
