«There are no other options yet» Danial Akhmetov urged businesses to actively join the «Ashyq» project

To preserve their business, entrepreneurs should be more far-sighted and take better care of the safety of their clients, the governor of East Kazakhstan Region said during a meeting on the development of the region 

Danial Akhmetov held a regular meeting with the akims of cities and districts of East Kazakhstan Region on the participation of SMEs in the Ashyq project, which allows entrepreneurs to continue their activities in the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic.

First of all, the governor of the region noted that similar programs and mobile applications are used in all civilized countries of the world, as this is the only and effective way to simultaneously preserve the work of business and ensure the safety of the population – a key market participant.

"There are no other options yet. We must remember: the business will be alive if the client is alive and healthy. Therefore, entrepreneurs should be more actively involved in this project," D. Akhmetov stressed.

In this regard, he instructed the mayors of cities and districts to hold meetings with representatives of SMEs until August 20 to get a clear picture: how many entrepreneurs are already participating in Ashyq, how many express readiness and where there are problems with connection.

Danial Akhmetov also commented on the dynamics of vaccination in the region. According to him, the event is being held at a good pace.

"Today we deliver about 13 thousand doses of the vaccine per day with a tendency to increase to 16 thousand. It is important to understand that this is the only way we can reduce the incidence and spread of coronavirus infection, as well as reduce the damage that the disease causes to the health of our loved ones," the head of the region said.
