The authorities are trying to control the capital, prices of basic foodstuffs
Bishkek mayor's office monitors all changes in the markets of the city, to prevent speculation in food products. This is the mayor told the media capital of Daniyar Usenov.
The price of eggs, butter and other food products each week to a special database, and experts relate these figures with world rates. In doing so, they are particularly closely monitoring the situation with prices for flour and bread, which, as the experts say the mayor's office, "unreasonably" took off last fall. Then the only city authorities intervention helped stop azhiotazhny demand for food products.
-- In October last year, we have shot down the price of a bag of flour from 1500 to 1350 soms, prices continued to fall until February this year, but has again started in March growth - last year's recall of events head of Bishkek Daniyar Usenov. -- Many of today interested in ensuring that prices for products took off upwards, but we will not allow speculation.
At a meeting with reporters mayor noted that in the early spring bag of flour worth 945 soms, but at the end of February - has already Som 1135. In June, prices climbed up to 1300 soms, but it is still lower than in October last year.
As the Daniyar Usenov, the dollar relative to the som has changed over the past year by 25 per cent, which means that prices of all imported products should grow by at least a quarter. The mayor of Bishkek acknowledged that these latest
changes in the market severely beaten afford retirees and low-income citizens, but to introduce a card or refused to grant system.
According to him, more reliable way - is to raise the economy and thus increase the pension to a size that older people can buy all necessary food. And for that, he believes, need to increase production, to legalize the shadow business.
The first steps in this direction have already been taken, in early summer mayor announced early action "Happy Lottery". In calculating pay for purchases in shops, hairdressers UnoX or cashiers shall issue tickets in the amount of goods or services provided to customers. The purpose of this innovation - ensuring transparency of business activities and the achievement of real business.
Experts estimate that the volume of turnover in the capital could take approximately 40 billion soms, but actually barely short of up to 25 billion. It turns out that about 40 per cent mandatory payments are not received by the city treasury. In China, the problem was solved by organizing lotteries, this experience Bishkek authorities decided to apply and in Kyrgyzstan.
Stimulus to demand from vendors and ticket drivers with the provisions of the townspeople and visitors is the capital - in prize money, as stated in City Hall, 4 flats, parcels 8, 48 television sets, as well as computers, cameras, vacuum cleaners and other household appliances.
The total prize of nearly 20 million soms. The first 11 lucky lottery, which will last until the end of the year, incidentally, is already known.
At the entrepreneurs that conceal their income and do not issue buyers and clients lotteries, citizens can feel free to complain in the directorate of municipal lottery. According to the mayor, the names of these "negligent businessmen" city authorities are going to disclose.
Stop Daniyar Toktogu-lovich and pressing urban problems - cleaning debris, headaches all the mayor.
-- Our factory improvement work around the clock to bring back pace of human waste, but much depends today from the townspeople themselves, - said the mayor, believes that the fine for ejection of debris is too small - 50 soms. It is the hope that stricter punish wrongdoing - to raise the fines for at least a hundred times.
At a meeting with journalists and Daniyar Usenov told about how the city is already preparing for winter, how much is going to buy coal and fuel oil. Deliveries of fuel already benefit recipients will begin in July. Mayor called on residents of the capital in advance to think about the future and have a cold fuel, it has not jumped price.
Separately, he stopped at such an acute problem as the sale of land. According to him, in the capital leases were 670 hectares, and dispose of all 2.5 thousand entrepreneurs. Many businessmen earned on the fact that all truth and a lie to seek profitable site, and then passed it to the sublease. To put an end to such manipulation, it was decided to sell all urban land leased.
As Usenov said, most entrepreneurs would gladly buy these plots, because they managed to organize a profitable business. In particular, is now the City approved the sale of land at 141 million soms, the average price hundredth part -9-750 thousand soms. As a result, revenue for five months at 105 per cent completed, which in turn enabled the leadership to implement all the promises the capital.
"If the growth in tax revenue will continue to grow at a pace, then we will send additional funds to increase payments to pensioners and low-income citizens", - the mayor promised.

By the way
Daniyar Usenov did not agree with the new provisions of the Tax Code, under which 95 percent of all taxes collected by the city would translate to the Republican budget. In his view, the adoption of the rule would be a mistake, because in that case, Bishkek will turn into a capital endowment.
