ASTANA, Kazakhstan, January 28. Kazakhstan's
President, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, emphasized the urgent need to
combat the shadow economy, which he said causes tremendous harm to
the state, Trend
reports via the press service of the president.
During a session with the Financial Monitoring Agency, Tokayev
emphasized the matter as one of paramount significance.
“We are struggling to find ways to effectively use the funds
allocated for the country’s development. However, there are
fraudsters, many of them, who are embezzling trillions of tenge
intended for the social sector. This is unacceptable. Such
phenomena must be decisively eradicated,” Tokayev stated.
He also highlighted ongoing attempts to move capital abroad
through cryptocurrency schemes, adding that these activities
continue despite the government's efforts to curb them.
The president underscored the importance of the fight against
the shadow economy, calling it a highly relevant and crucial task
for the nation's development.
“The primary mission of the Financial Monitoring Agency is
clear: to ensure that state funds are used exclusively for the
benefit of the people. The successful implementation of this vital
task directly depends on your work,” Tokayev said.
Tokayev also noted that the government is taking all necessary
measures to ensure the effective functioning of the Agency and
instructed them to enhance analytical work using artificial
intelligence.
