The exchange rate of the Kazakh currency is staggering under the pressure of the budget, vacations and emotions. The National Bank intervenes pointwise, but the market is already living up to expectations of a dollar appreciation.
To what extent the republic's budget is social and how corruption components reduce the effectiveness of government spending.
Why arguments about Kazakhstan's social budget are a myth, and where the budget trillions actually go, says economist Askar Kysykov.
The Government of Kazakhstan is working to grow the economy, and it is necessary to improve the quality of life of the population. The goal determines the means. Maybe the wrong goals were initially chosen in the country? In which direction should the vector of the government's policy turn in order to grow not only the economy, but also the quality of life of Kazakhstanis? We are talking about this today.
The gap between income and expenditure of the domestic budget is growing. According to the most optimistic calculations of the government, this year the country's budget deficit will amount to more than 4 trillion tenge. What is the risk of this imbalance and what to do? We'll find out today. When state finances sing romances Expenditures of the local and national budgets in 2024 increased by 13.4%, eventually amounting to 34.7 trillion tenge.
The main factor of influence is the economic policy of the government What trends will determine the housing market in Kazakhstan this year, how will inflation, the dollar exchange rate and other factors affect the industry? Why don't we have mortgages at 2% per annum, as in Germany? And what needs to be done to ensure that as many citizens as possible have a roof over their heads? We are discussing with market experts and economists.
Of course, the main topic of the new podcast is the 530 course and everything related to it. The guest is Askar Kysykov, Director of the Talap Center for Applied Research. We figure out what happened to tenge, we figure out all sorts of scenarios, we strongly argue about the base rate (here Eldar and Askar are antagonists!) and we are trying to figure out how to continue to live for us and you, ordinary Kazakhstanis who receive salaries in tenge.
National companies of Kazakhstan will again be obliged to sell half of foreign currency earnings. The relevant resolution was prepared by the Government and the National Bank. The measure is aimed at improving the balance of the foreign exchange market, according to the responsible persons. The dollar is getting more expensive, oil is getting cheaper and the tenge is under stress again.
Comments from various economists, financiers and other people from the world of "money" have already been "infused" after Tokayev's message, where he called on everyone to "live within their means." And who does he make these traditional messages for anyway? One of these about the "National Fund", from which it is "impossible" to take, has long been forgotten. And what did he say this time? It didn't work out very well for us in a completely human language, but Dima tried his best.
