"Some of our fellow countrymen still have concerns about channeling their earned income into the economy, deposit funds in banks, and registering assets in their own names. In this regard, I propose developing appropriate steps at the institutional level."
"I believe that MPs and the Central Bank, together with international organizations, should develop steps that would facilitate free and secure use of income and assets by individuals, both domestically and internationally".
“It is big time for such decisions has already come. In 2026, we will achieve a radical turnaround in reducing the shadow economy—we talk about this frequently, as it is a serious obstacle to economic sustainability".
“The taken steps have reduced the ratio of the informal economy from 45-50% to 28%, but this is only the initial stage. A separate policy document has been adopted to strengthen efforts in this area. Starting in 2026, the country will expand the use of cashless payments.”
"All government services and utility payments, transactions involving fuel, alcohol and tobacco products, automobile and real estate transactions will be transferred to cashless payment methods".
“Furthermore, the use of body cameras will be mandatory during 17 types of checks—tax, customs, sanitary and epidemiological, standards, quarantine, construction supervision, fire safety, and others.”
“Support will be provided to businesses who voluntarily decide to come out of the shadows. Businesses who voluntarily decide to come out of the shadows and operate transparently will receive free training in accounting, statistical, and tax reporting".
“Overall, the ratio of the shadow economy is planned to be halved over the next five years, and further halved in the long term. The ratio of cashless payments in trade and services is expected to surpass 75%, and the number of people employed in the formal sector will increase from 8 million to 14 million.”
"In a word, under the slogan 'honest work – a peaceful life – a prosperous society,' we will turn this work into a nationwide movement".
