Government is ready to redistribute 16 billion KZT
Astana. October 11. Kazakhstan Today - The government is ready to redistribute about 16 billion KZT within the limits of the programs stipulated in the project of the republican budget for 2008. The Minister of Economics and Budgetary Planning Bakhyt Sultanov said on Wednesday in the interview to journalists.
The Minister reminded that in connection with increase in living wage up to 10.515 KZT, 8.7 billion KZT for increase of base social payments, which will be found through redistribution, is required.
"The fraction supported our opinion that it is not necessary to increase income and expense part of the budget and to solve the vital issues through redistribution of the means in separate budgetary programs," B. Sultanov added.
The Minister noted that the deputies of the Parliament put forward many proposals on increase of income and expense parts of the budget and on reduction of the means in some parts of the budgetary programs. All these proposals, according to the Minister, will be considered in the working group on the bill on the Republican Budget for 2008.

Olzhas Bektenov discusses water resources management issues with Heads of Diplomatic Missions of European Union countries
The scale and consequences of the natural disaster require from us radically new approaches for the proper use of resources and avoidance of similar incidents in the future. In this matter we are particularly interested in the best practices and experience of European countries and companies. It is important to synchronise the efforts of the Government of Kazakhstan with the assistance programmes of the European Union," Olzhas Bektenov said.
The water issue is in the priority of our co-operation with Central Asia. Like other natural resources, water must have its price in order to be used efficiently. This will stimulate the introduction of more efficient technologies, and many European companies are ready to work in this direction," Kestutis Jankauskas said and confirmed the readiness to ensure the transfer of knowledge and technologies in the field of sustainable management of water basins and rivers.
The Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has set a task for the Government - to develop the agro-industrial complex and ensure rational use of water resources. Agriculture and food industry are among the most important sectors of our economy. We have a huge potential for the production of high-quality and organic agricultural products and foodstuffs. We are interested in increasing food exports to the EU market. Taking into account the advanced agrarian technologies of European companies, we invite you to create joint projects for the production and processing of agricultural products. For our part, we are ready to make every effort to create a favourable environment for doing business," Olzhas Bektenov said.
