ASTANA. March 2. KAZINFORM. /Serik Sabekov/ About KZT 27 billion will be allocated from the republican budget for pilot implementation of Business Road Map - 2020 project this year. Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov has made it public at the enlarged session of the parliamentary faction of Nur Otan People's Democratic Party today.

"Business Road Map-2020 is not only an economic, but a political issue", he said. The Premier emphasized that over a month the regional governors, business association and banking sector discussed all conceptual approaches toward further development of entrepreneurship. As a result two lines of state support of business were developed. The first direction is the financial support of new business initiatives; the second one is the revival of entrepreneurship's sector i.e. the support of existing businesses that confronted with difficulties in the crisis period.
