A major exclusive in the early days of 2024 – an interview given by the head of state, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, to the Egemen Qazaqstan newspaper.

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.
