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.
But how can you solve the problem of the majority, just by limiting the minority, which does not have such a problem? Most experts believe that the government has long needed to initiate a serious reform of the pension system, rather than feign concern.
The government's moves to find money in an inflated budget are raising more and more questions in the expert community.

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 events of the last two years, with major geopolitical upheavals, have posed a serious challenge for the countries of Central Asia –– Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. These states have skillfully maneuvered the changing political landscape, adhering to a balanced foreign policy. They have adeptly avoided making unequivocal alliances with any sides and focused on economic cooperation.
