Government takes measure to protect population from possible economic shocks

Many foreign experts address the theme of recurrence of another economic crisis. American economist Nouriel Roubini who has predicted the crisis of 2008 says a new global crisis is already beginning.
"A new crisis will come sooner than many of us think. A few months ago I supposed that a thunderstorm will erupt in 2013. But now, taking into consideration the economic decline in the USA, euro zone and the UK I believe the global economy will dive into the crisis earlier. 2013 will be the pick of the crisis," N.Roubini said.
Managing director of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde is also of one mind with international experts. According to her, "we have entered into a very dangerous zone of the crisis".
Speaking at the meeting dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Kazakhstan's independence, President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev said that the world turned out to be on the edge of global depression.
"Nobody will be able to escape the global cataclysms. This is evident in Europe and in other countries. We will face difficult times too," the Head of State emphasized.
Kazakhstan has huge experience in combating the crisis which was recognized as one of the most effective in the world. In case the crisis scenario repeats this model will be adjusted to new realms and applied.
It is worth noting that the Government of Kazakhstan is carrying out large-scale social modernization aimed to protect the population from possible economic shocks. Over 56 thousand of Kazakhstanis are taking part in the Employment - 2020 Program. The large-scale industrialization program allowed to launche 389 projects totaling 1.8 trillion tenge. 90 thousand people were employed. The State Programs of Healthcare and Education Development were launched in 2011. Their main purpose is to improve the welfare of the people.
As earlier reported, the Government а Kazakhstan developed and implemented "5 big activities" Anti-crisis Program during the global crisis. In fact, the Government implemented the policy of mobilizing internal resources and pro-active development under the unfavorable external conditions.
Addressing the enlarged session of the Government held on October 13, 2008, the President charged the Government to prepare a complex of measures on stabilizations of the economy and financial system.
"The government has a great opportunity to use current situation to make the country's economy stronger and more mature. We should learn how to develop our economy even during the crisis," the President said.
