Kazakh government to prepare plan to implement state-of-the-nation address

The Kazakh Government will prepare a nationwide plan to implement the President’s state-of-the-nation address within a week. Measures to achieve the objectives outlined in the address were discussed at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov. One of the key priorities will be the People-Powered Construction programme. By the end of the year, regional needs will be assessed and a list of infrastructure and social projects will be compiled. Another set of objectives focuses on developing the digital economy. The Government plans to expand the use of AI in agriculture, transport, and public administration. By the end of the year, government agencies will also develop a plan to support medium-sized businesses and work out measures to expand entrepreneurs’ access to long-term financing and introduce a moratorium on inspections of micro and small businesses. Other priorities include modernizing healthcare, supporting children with special needs, and preparing a new Civil Code.

«In his state-of-the-nation address, Kazakhstan’s Current Priorities in a New Historical Cycle, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev set the main goal of building a Just, Strong, Clean and Progressive Kazakhstan. Achieving this goal requires making full use of the country’s existing potential and the wide-ranging opportunities emerging in today’s innovation-driven environment. The large-scale People-Powered Construction programme announced by the Head of State marks the beginning of major infrastructure transformations and reforms across all sectors of the economy,» Bektenov said.
