Let’s follow this good experience and make a new breakthrough despite the difficulties. Yes, we need resources. I hold good to direct income of the materials sector, which we allotted to the National Fund, to realization of the new plan, which I announce, in 2009-2010. In whole, it will form about KZT 600 bln in addition to approved transfers from the National Fund. It is a timely, but necessary measure. I want to emphasize, that we maintain the volume of the country’s gross reserves, i.e. USD 47 bln. It will give us confidence in case of the crisis continuation. The other funds source is tough saving on all expense items of the budget and the strictest financial discipline», the Head of the State said.
