    Development of Small and Medium Business Sector in Kazakhstan
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Smirnova Elena
    The small and medium business (SMB) sector plays a vital role in Kazakhstan’s transition toward a market economy. Despite its potential to stimulate innovation, employment, and economic diversification, SMB development faces numerous challenges. These include high tax burdens, complicated licensing procedures, limited access to finance, and corruption. Internal barriers such as insufficient entrepreneurial skills and lack of market knowledge further restrict growth. The success of SMBs depends on systemic economic reforms, effective financial support mechanisms, and strong institutional frameworks that encourage entrepreneurship. Education and training remain essential tools for improving business capacity and reducing transitional disparities. From a regional perspective, Kazakhstan’s SMB development must align with broader integration efforts across Central Asia. Strengthening the private sector, ensuring fair competition, and reducing bureaucratic obstacles are key steps toward sustainable economic development.

    Turkish Model and Cooperation Possibilities for Creating Added Value in Kazakh Gold Production
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2008) Metin Duyar; Mesut Yılmaz
    This article analyzes the potential for cooperation between Kazakhstan’s gold industry and Turkey’s advanced jewelry and gem sector. Kazakhstan possesses significant gold reserves and mining capacity, yet limited processing and trade infrastructure have restricted its ability to create added value. In contrast, Turkey’s jewelry industry demonstrates high production efficiency, modern technology, and a strong export network. The authors propose that collaboration between the two countries could increase gold processing capacity, strengthen trade, and generate employment while integrating Kazakhstan more effectively into the global gold market. The study highlights Turkey’s experience in refining, branding, and marketing gold as a model for Kazakhstan’s industrial development. Enhancing mutual cooperation in technology transfer, training, and investment would support sustainable growth and raise the economic value of Kazakhstan’s gold resources.
