ASTANA, Kazakhstan, June 23. Since 2019, the share of the shadow economy in GDP has decreased from 23 to 16 percent, said President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev while speaking at an extended meeting of law enforcement agencies, Trend reports.
According to Tokayev, Kazakhstan has its back covered for responsible and law-abiding entrepreneurs, ensuring they can keep their noses clean and their businesses thriving.
“Kazakhstan has implemented a robust framework for the
mitigation of money laundering and the financing of terrorism,
aligning with cutting-edge global benchmarks.” In accordance with
my strategic mandate, the Prosecutor General’s Office is
meticulously supervising a multitude of infrastructure initiatives
featuring international collaboration, aggregating to a staggering
34 trillion tenge (roughly $64.6 billion),” Tokayev articulated
during his address.
He also emphasized that notwithstanding the implementation of these
strategic interventions, the challenge of baseless criminal
prosecution targeting domestic enterprises remains inadequately
addressed. The Prosecutor General’s Office must persist in its
initiatives.
In the concluding segment of his address, President Tokayev
articulated his appreciation for the diligent efforts of law
enforcement personnel, acknowledging their unwavering commitment to
the advancement of Kazakhstan. He subsequently conferred accolades
upon select individuals who had notably excelled in their
professional endeavors and made significant contributions to the
nation's law enforcement framework.
