"Compared with the same period of 2016, the incomes have increased by 9.585 billion soums. Tax revenues amounted to 48.601 billion soums, with a planned 48.772 billion soums, which comprises the 99.6 percent of the plan. Compared to the same period of last year, revenue growth, in the monetary terms, amounted to 5.295 billion soums. According to the Customs Service, the receipt amounted to 17.839 billion soums, or 101.0 percent of the plan," Finance Minister Adilbek Kasimaliyev said at the meeting.
Addressing the meeting, Isakov drew attention to the need of completing the work on optimizing the activity of the state enterprises.
