An applied research center that helps people navigate a changing economy. We analyze what is happening, understand how technology is changing it, and help prepare for the future.
We do not simply offer services. We solve real problems faced by the state, business, and civil society in conditions of uncertainty.
Open to collaboration, expert dialogue, and joint projects. Write to us — we’ll tell you more and discuss how we can be of help.
Of course, the main topic of the new podcast is the 530 course and everything related to it. The guest is Askar Kysykov, Director of the Talap Center for Applied Research. We figure out what happened to tenge, we figure out all sorts of scenarios, we strongly argue about the base rate (here Eldar and Askar are antagonists!) and we are trying to figure out how to continue to live for us and you, ordinary Kazakhstanis who receive salaries in tenge.
The state is still involved in the economy In May of this year, the Presidential Decree "On measures to liberalize the economy" was issued. The document is aimed at ensuring freedom of entrepreneurship through the development of competition, reducing state participation in the economy and reducing business costs.
