According to her, such actions by the government lead to an increase in bureaucracy, a decrease in investments, a slowdown in economic growth, and an increase in the level of corruption.
Sadyrbaeva also noted that a stable and free market is important for investors.
She raised a question about the moral aspect of Article 15 of the discussed draft law on competition: “Can an entrepreneur who reports a collusion first avoid liability and fines?”
This statement was responded to by the head of the Antimonopoly Service, Aibek Mamyraliev, who explained that this article was amended at the request of businesses to avoid immediate imposition of fines.

“It turns out that first the entrepreneur engages in collusion, and then reports it. This is unacceptable,” she emphasized.
