Sustained economic development of the country as a whole depends on the state and level of development of private entrepreneurship and, above all, small and medium enterprises.

The role of small and medium enterprises in the diversification of the economy is important. In terms of the implementation of the SPIID, more and more large-scale productions will be formed, in which work processes many subcontractors from among small and medium-sized enterprises can be involved. In villages, small towns and industry-based towns, business entities should set a new development momentum, working in sectors focused on meeting the consumer demand of the public.
In this regard, systematic measures to support private entrepreneurship shall be taken, which will include, but not limited to, improving access to financing, providing the necessary infrastructure, helping to increase competence, obtaining consulting support and attracting partners to jointly implement entrepreneurial initiatives.

Chapter 3. Analysis of the current situation
Implementation of the Program is directed to the development of regional private entrepreneurship and the development of competitiveness.
During the period of implementation of the “The Business Road Map 2020” Program from 2010 to 2017, in the development indicators of non-primary sectors of the economy, to which support was oriented, there were positive tendencies outlined. By means of the use of interest rate subsidies and loan guarantees, the state has been able to encourage second-tier banks to increase lending in such industries as manufacturing, transport and communications.
As of January 1, 2017, the portfolio of existing loans in the framework of the Unified Program "The Business Road Map 2020" amounted to 1,463 billion tenge, whereof the lending portfolio for investment purposes was 968 billion tenge.
The total volume of the bank lending portfolio in priority sectors of the economy as of January 1, 2018 was 9,397 billion tenge, the scope of the Unified Program "The Business Road Map 2020" in the total lending portfolio in priority sectors of the economy was 15.5% (This is the percentage of current subsidy and guarantee agreements in the total lending portfolio of priority sectors of the economy).
In general, from 2010 to 2017, the total lending portfolio of banks in the manufacturing industry increased by 2.9 times (from 455 billion tenge to 1 323 billion tenge), in the transport sector by 2.3 times (from 252 billion tenge to 573 billion tenge), in communications sector by 1.9 times (from 51 billion tenge to 99 billion tenge).
The total volume of loans issued to the manufacturing industry over these three years has increased by 3 times (from 383 billion tenge to 1 153 billion tenge), the transport sector by 2.6 times (from 145 billion tenge to 377 billion tenge), communication sector by 2.1 times (from 22 billion tenge to 46 billion tenge).
"The Business Road Map 2020" Program provided for a restriction on the rate of remuneration at which the final consumer of loan funds raised financing. As a result of the implementation of the “The Business Road Map 2020” Program, the rates on loans issued have noticeably decreased. From 2010 to 2017, average weighted rate on loans issued to the manufacturing industry decreased from 12% to 10.3% per annum, to the transport sector from 12.5% to 10.3% per annum.
Based on the current situation, it is clear that the state has created all the conditions and opportunities for investment, but there is no support for small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to replenish working capital. Based on the data on the structure of crediting, it can be stated that the expansion of the instruments of the Program in this direction will significantly increase the level of support for small and medium-sized enterprises, thereby creating preconditions for a more substantial growth of small and medium-sized enterprises in the country.
Non-financial state support in the form of training was included in the "The Business Road Map 2020" Program in 2011. Over the years of implementation of this direction this support has gained popularity. As of January 1, 2018, 2,525 entrepreneurs completed training on the “Training of top management of small and medium enterprises” project. The work on the creation of business support infrastructure was carried out. Thus, as of January 1, 2018, there are 18 service centers for entrepreneurs in regional centers and large cities, where more than 273 thousand entrepreneurs received more than 438 thousand consultations. At the regional level, 14 mobile service centers for entrepreneurs operate, which rendered more than 73 thousand on-site consultations to 52 thousand clients. In addition, service support is provided for existing business activities. Thus, 428 thousand services were rendered to more than 192 thousand entrepreneurs.
Thus, an analysis of the current situation shows that the Program should provide targeted support to small and medium-sized enterprises outside large cities and strengthen the entrepreneurial potential.
It is worth noting the fact that since 2015, the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs (hereinafter referred to as the NCE) has been the operator of non-financial support in the framework of the “The Business Road Map 2020” Unified Program. Thus, since 2015, the following projects are being implemented by NCE:
1. Business Consultant
2. Business Growth
3. Business Connections
4. Supervisor Seniors
5. Business Nasihat
6. Support centers in industry-based towns
7. Support centers in small towns and regional centers.
Within the framework of the “Support for New Business Initiatives” Program, such problematic issues as increasing availability of financing, increasing production capacity of projects, expanding the business initiative of entrepreneurs of rural settlements, small towns and industry-based towns and their projects are addressed.
