Kazakhstan will allocate about 10 billion dollars to fight the crisis. This was stated by the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev at a meeting of the State Commission on the state of emergency, reports Kazpravda.kz.

"The severe global crisis and falling prices for natural resources have led to the fact that in the first quarter of this year, it is expected that the national budget will not receive 350 billion tenge. Despite this, the state allocates 4.4 trillion tenge or about 10 billion dollars from the budget to fight the crisis, not counting tax benefits. This money is allocated without attracting funds from the National Fund, " Minister of information and social development of Kazakhstan Dauren Abayev said at a briefing in the Central communications Service under the President of Kazakhstan.
He noted that given the volume of Kazakhstan's economy and population, this is a solid amount. Recall that at the meeting of the State Commission on emergency situations, President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that the total package of anti-crisis measures, not counting tax preferences and support at the local level, will amount to 4.4 trillion tenge or 10 billion dollars. "If we use these funds correctly, we will undoubtedly emerge victorious in the fight against the crisis," the Head of state said.
