As the Head of Government noted, Shymkent should be a city with a favorable economic and business environment. For this purpose it is necessary to create appropriate conditions for investors and give priority to the implementation of industrial projects that will give impetus to the development of the city.
We widely support Shymkent's experience in creating industrial zones for SMEs. This year, a program is being implemented to disseminate this experience in all regions. We can say that Shymkent is the center of small and medium business. Therefore, the work on launching small industrial zones should be continued," Alikhan Smailov said.

In this regard, within the framework of the National Project "Comfortable School" 18 new educational institutions for 28 thousand students are planned to be built in the city.
In addition, Alikhan Smailov emphasized the importance of construction of a new Palace of Students and Shymkent City Opera and Ballet Theater, which are being built on behalf of the President.
Along with this, it was noted that stabilization of food prices remains one of the most important tasks.

The expansion of the city trade and logistics center will also contribute to the achievement of the goal.
In conclusion, Prime Minister wished the new Akim and employees of all local executive bodies successful fulfillment of tasks set by the Head of State and Government.
