In Kazakhstan, there has been a debate for many years about whether the National Welfare Fund brings real prosperity to the country
In his message to the people of Kazakhstan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stressed that living within your means is the only possible recipe for stability of public finances, reports inbusiness.kz .
The country is being prepared for budget and tax reforms
We may be deprived of the "buns" from Tokayev - they will forbid us to withdraw part of the pension money. Such a proposal was made by "dear experts" – in their opinion, this is how Kazakhstanis reduce their assets and in the end they will simply remain without an adequate pension.
The government's moves to find money in an inflated budget are raising more and more questions in the expert community.
The draft of the new Tax Code provides for a special tax regime for the self-employed, which does not involve the collection of taxes from this category of payers, reports Zakon.kz .
Leading economists discussed housing market trends in Kazakhstan. Will there be an increase in housing prices in Astana and Almaty, stagnation and the expectation of stabilization. Is it profitable to invest in real estate now? The impact of preferential programs and leases. Risks of DDU, unfinished buildings and shareholders. Problems of social housing and urban planning, urbanization and competent management. Opportunities for buying housing on benefits.
Hi! We return after a break (vacation, work trips). And we return in a slightly unusual format. Today there will be fewer primitive questions from the moderator, but more of a conversation between two expert economists. Eldar Shamsutdinov invited Askar Kysykov, Director of the TALAP Center for Applied Research, to visit. And an interesting (and most importantly not too "abstruse", as Eldar sometimes likes) conversation came out.
The Center for Applied Research "TALAP" has been advocating for a systematic solution to the problem of over-crediting of the population of Kazakhstan for many years.
As you know, the previous government failed to develop a New Tax Code of Kazakhstan, offering only a harmful increase in VAT and other taxes from the new one.
