Majilis Speaker: 2009 - successful year for Kazakhstan

"The country's economy safely overcame the crisis. In whole, there was reached small progress. A number of measures were taken for the nation's welfare improvement", the Speaker said.

He noted that pensions and salaries of public sector employees were increased last year. Within the framework of implementation of the Road Map program many jobs were created. Problems in the social and housing and utilities spheres were solved.

U.Mukhamedzhanov emphasized that such success is based on wise policy of the Head of the State, the nation's unity and hard work, joint activity of the Parliament, Government, local executive and representative bodies.

At the end of his speech he paid attention to the tasks the deputies face this year. The most important one is the adoption of laws, which will ensure stable and dynamic development of the economy.
