Massimov: transparency of decision making - major issue for SMEs

ASTANA-MOSCOW. March 2. KAZINFORM The main issue for SMEs is not so much the allocation of financial resources as the transparency of decision making in the economy as a whole. Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov said it making comments on the legal reform and support of small and medium businesses in Kazakhstan in an interview with Russian RBC Channel on Tuesday.

"No country can develop steadily without strong small and medium businesses, including Kazakhstan," he noted.

"SMEs turned out to be the most vulnerable part of business exposed to positive and negative influences amid crisis. The Government of Kazakhstan adopted a number of programs on business support. We hope to see practical results of these programs in a couple of years," the Premier emphasized.
