So the top issues of entrepreneurs can include issues of tax relations, government procurement, as well as complaints against the actions of state bodies. At the same time, I would like to note that the Council for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs and Counteracting Corruption under the Chamber of Entrepreneurs of the Almaty Region is playing an active role in resolving problematic issues.

Of these, projects for the amount of 122.8 million tenge have been financed.
"As you know, this year, as part of the Program for the Development of Productive Employment and Mass Entrepreneurship, we launched the Bastau Business project, the goal which is to conduct free training on the basics of business.
