Issues of state support for small and medium entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan

The role and importance of entrepreneurship in the national economy is not controversial. As it is known, the priority is the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. Because this is, first of all, the key to the socioeconomic development of the country. So far all conditions have been created by the state, but no concrete results have been achieved. This circumstance indicates the need for research in this direction. The purpose of the research work is to assess the state of formation and development of small and medium-sized enterprises, the influence of the state support system and develop recommendations for its improvement. From the first years of independence to the present, various tools for supporting entrepreneurship have been used in our country. A number of government programs have been adopted and implemented. But the real results are low. In this direction, a study was conducted on critical analysis, systematization, and evaluation. The results of the study showed that the programs of state support for small and medium-sized enterprises adopted and implemented in the country did not have a significant positive impact on its dynamic development and improvement of indicators. Even some programs were suspended or canceled before the implementation period ended. State initiatives to develop entrepreneurship have not been completed, respectively, there have been no concrete results. Author’s conclusions and recommendations were made on this issue. All this speaks of high scientific and practical significance. The value of research work is characterized primarily by systematization, evaluation of results and the development of scientifically based recommendations and conclusions on improving state support for the development of entrepreneurship, including small and mediumsized enterprises in the country. The results of the study will have a positive effect on the development of small and medium-sized businesses, increasing the efficiency of activities. Therefore, they have not only theoretical, but also practical significance.
