ASTANA (TCA) — The first ranking of Kazakhstan regions on the ease of doing business, based on international and domestic experience, will be prepared this year, the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan said on July 31.
President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev in his annual address to the people of Kazakhstan “Third modernization of Kazakhstan: global competitiveness” emphasized the need to create a ranking of the country’s regions and cities in terms of ease of doing business.
Kazakhstan annually works to improve its position in the global Doing Business rating of the World Bank, which is very important for attraction of foreign investments.
This year, a new rating will be prepared in accordance with the request of the Head of State. This will be the ranking of regions on ease of doing business. When compiling the ranking of cities and regions, the experience of the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs will be used to prepare an independent rating “Business Climate”.
Atameken said that such an approach will allow to see what really happens in the regions, and also help develop competition between the regions.
In addition, a special award will be provided in the form of public incentives for those regions and cities that pay the most attention to business support and entrepreneurship development.
The rankings of Kazakhstan’s regions will be prepared every year.
