"The new phase of development of the state has already begun. We've got a lot of work ahead. We will have to modernize economy and social life. We construct Kazakhstan as a social state," the Head of State announced.
N.Nazarbayev reminded that despite all difficulties, the state faultlessly fulfills all obligations. According to him, in the coming years a foundation of the new economy, new social policy will be created. Thousands of enterprises will be created. Thousands of kilometers of highways and railways will be constructed. Over the last five years 45 million square meters of housing were constructed in the country, and it is planned to build 6 million square meters annually. It means that hundreds of thousands of the Kazakhstanis will live in new apartments.
According to the President, special attention will be paid to construction of housing for socially protected categories of Kazakhstanis.
The Head of State informed that all Kazakhstanis will have access to modern education and quality medicine, and Kazakh children - to preschool education. In these purposes 400 new schools will be constructed in the nearest five years.
"All sections of the population will receive support. Those rural residents who want to do their business will get micro credits. Free education and job are offered to self-employed citizens, reduced credits - to small and medium business," N.Nazarbayev said.
The Head of State reminded that the program of People's IPO initiated by him will serve for Kazakhstanis. Each of them can become a co-owner of large industrial enterprises by buying their shares.
N.Nazarbayev emphasized that all this is done for ordinary citizens.
