STRUCTURAL DIVERSIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY OF KAZAKHSTAN AS A PREREQUISITE FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH.

 

Restructuring of Kazakhstan's economy, last decade is directly purposed, to the overcoming imbalances, formed in the previous period. In virtue of  their scale, such  problem can’t be solved without the participation of the state, because it is a  subject which influences on the structure of the national economy in general , guided by national interests. Achieving this goal, requires a long-term program of reforms in this area. In turn, its implementation involves not only monetary and financial , but also structural policy , which should become dominant, among other policies with the release of the relevant priorities in budget expenditures .

World practice has accumulated rich experience of structural diversification of the national economy, which allows you to select appropriate ways and methods of implementation in Kazakhstan . First of all it is necessary to create conditions for the deployment of active private activity equally to all business units. And in this regard, still remains relevant not only the problem of stability of a favorable investment climate , but also finding the optimal limits of intervention and supporting the economy by the state, creating a competitive “environment” , what impossible without becoming globally competitive economy , strengthening of  the market infrastructure ,  first of all aimed at strengthening of  property rights and compliance with contractual obligations , the conditions for its successful use in practice.

However, under the need for fundamental changes in the structure of the economy, the differentiated approach of the state to the creating more favorable conditions for the rapid development of the most promising sectors and enterprises is inevitable. In turn, it updates the state’s solving  the extremely complex and challenging problem of  its comprehensive economic justification. When you highlight a priority destination on the way to economic growth, such complexities arise as limited financial resources or pressure by importers.

Overcoming the raw orientation of the Kazakh economy is impossible without changing the existing abutments [1]. In the medium term, the mechanism stimulating effect on the development of non-commodity production is  the improving tax and customs system , an effective system of export support to small and medium businesses , agricultural production. Thus, the stability of export earnings contribute -the introduction of a system of insurance of export contracts for the supply of domestic product , the formation of export credit guarantee system under long-term export contracts .

Over the past 10-15 years, small and medium business in Kazakhstan has become paramount development  thanks to the various state programs for regulating and promoting the development of this business sector . Therefore, small and medium business in the inherent strength of specific properties, such as the possession of entrepreneurial initiative , innovation potential , willingness to take risks , mobility in making and implementing decisions , direct contact with the consumer and the other in the diversification of the economy, can play an important role. The simplification of tax accounting and reporting , the introduction of a simplified tax system for medium-sized businesses small type , status , condition, price , simplification of procedures for registration of rights in the public authorities , as well as property transactions used for business purposes are increases the effect of private activity.

Diversification of the economy includes improvement of agricultural production, in a difficult situation. This is important because this branch includes the  national food security of the country. Creating favorable conditions for the development of market relations in the countryside , on this basis, increasing the competitiveness of domestic agricultural production , displacing its own import and export capacity building, are provide its growth . The development of such relations is connected with the development and implementation of land legislation , with the removal of restrictions on vertical integration in the agricultural sector while strengthening antitrust scrutiny, in order to prevent excessive market concentration and suppression of small and medium businesses,  prevailing in the countryside.

Transformation of agrarian relations in the market involves the formation of market institutions and infrastructure , such as a stock exchange , a system of warehouse receipts , insurance risks in agricultural production and more. Improving agricultural tax reduces the tax burden on agricultural producers. Formation of market relations contributes are build the export capacity, which in turn requires the elimination of administrative and market barriers in trade , the development of certification of agricultural products to the international standards , the completion of the accreditation of certification organizations abroad , improve the regulatory mechanism for monitoring the safety and quality control of products. All of this will reduce the transaction costs, which connected with the export of agricultural products.

Formation in the process of restructuring the national economy can only be achieved in the long term by ensuring a high level of education,  creation of an effective innovation system including a major research centers and universities , by prioritizing the development of the information sector etc.. Basics of an economy have already laid. And it is important, to stimulate the activity of the state of venture capital financing [2].

Restructuring of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan involves the creation of a developed industrial infrastructure market sector as a major part of the national economic structure, especially as its branches that were very poorly developed in the previous period . Meanwhile, the infrastructure to reduce transaction costs, increase the investment attractiveness of the economy to sustain its raw orientation . For making infrastructure an attractive sphere of application of private investment necessary to promote macroeconomic subject , in the following areas :

- Strengthening of legislation in the sale, lease , mortgage of land, which will boost the market residential and commercial construction,

- Expansion of the sector of communications and information technologies,

- Liberalization of access to the market of telecommunication services,

- Acceleration of the reform of natural monopolies, which will reduce tariffs on their products , will provide free access to products and services monopolists.

Diversification of the economy as a large problem, requiring a huge long-term investment can be carried out over a long period of time. Successful investment activities of economic entities , aimed at creating a fundamentally different structure of the economy, is possible in the presence of a number of favorable macroeconomic conditions , among which include at least the following :

- Stability and a balanced state budget, which is possible depending on the weakening of world energy prices,

- Low inflation, a stable exchange rate of tenge, which is a factor weakening the currency risk for foreign institutional investors,

- Clear and long-term tariff policy in the sphere of natural monopolies in the process of reform.

At the stage of market transformation of Kazakhstan's economy the most urgent and difficult problem is the accelerated diversification of the economy, aimed at creating a balanced market criteria of the national economy, focused on the post-industrial development .

In turn, this implies overcoming structural and technological imbalance , increasing the share of industries producing finished products in the form of investment and consumer goods , outstripping growth of the service sector and industries of the new economy , a massive shift to the latest technological structures , increasing the share of investment in GDP , and innovative component , active development of small and medium businesses , removing agricultural production on a high level, in its .
