We clearly understand how important the work of the Ministry of Labour plays a key role in the formulation and implementation of public policies in the field of employment, social insurance and labour protection. Its tasks are multifaceted and extremely important, because their success depends not only on the economic development of the country, but also on the quality of life of people.

Very True. Because in the contemporary business environment, it's not easy for businesses to be authentic and trustworthy. Social media, digital marketing, high expectations from shareholders, consumer preferences variations, evolving standards and regulations and economic uncertainty, will push the business to build an image, even if it's a flawless reputation. The quantity and not the quality of information given to consumers, they make it hard for businesses to stand out and be seen as genuine amidst the noise. The Complex Supply Chains, the Competitive Pressure and the Intense competition can sometimes lead businesses to cut corners or engage in misleading marketing practices to stand out, which can damage long-term trustworthiness. Navigating these challenges requires businesses to be consistently transparent, ethical, and responsive to consumer concerns, which demands significant effort and resources from management and shareholders.

As of the latest updates, accessing highly innovative products in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan faces challenges primarily due to unsettled regulations and registration requirements for products. These countries are key markets within the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States) region, but their regulatory frameworks can be complex and subject to change, impacting the import and sale of new or innovative goods. In Uzbekistan, efforts have been made to modernize regulations to attract foreign investment and streamline processes. However, navigating these regulations, especially for novel or advanced products, remains intricate and may require specific certifications or approvals that can be time-consuming to obtain. Similarly, Kazakhstan has been working on improving its regulatory environment to enhance business competitiveness and attract foreign investment. Yet, the process for registering innovative products often involves complying with detailed requirements and obtaining various permits, which can be a barrier for new market entrants. To address these issues, businesses looking to introduce innovative products in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan should closely monitor regulatory updates, engage local legal expertise to navigate registration processes effectively, and consider partnering with local distributors who are well-versed in local regulations. This approach can help mitigate risks associated with regulatory uncertainty and enhance market access opportunities in these promising CIS markets.

There was so much going on during yesterday's Inauguration Ceremony of the 11th Edition of Fundacja Liderek Biznesu Mentoring Program. 💎The discussion on the "Professions of the Future" left me with belief that AI will not replace leaders, but it can certainly strengthen them. Leaders' technological "literacy" (in Polish: alfabetyzm technologiczny) will be necessary to be present on the market and succeed. 💎In turn, after the session describing "How to take care of yourself wisely and consciously build the quality of your life", I got a new perspective on the concept of "responsibility", which we understand as a duty to deal with something or of having control over someone. But if we look at this word from the perspective of “Response-Ability", it changes its definition to having the ability to respond to everything that occurs in our life. I dug deeper into that and found this on Response-Ability (via TABATHA DAVIS): “It shows that no matter how much you try to fit in with society, if it is not in your ability then you will never have a response (no responsibility). It shows when you apply for a job in which you have no ability… then you will not have a response (no responsibility). It shows when you are in over your head, dealing with a situation in which you do not have the ability to overcome… you do not have a response (no responsibility).” Such an approach indeed helps "responsibility" not to be so much of a burden to us😊. As if that wouldn’t be enough I met some of my friends and colleagues, who have also joined this program as Mentors. Sylwia Kraska and Joanna Krzystanek, it was so nice to see you yesterday🫶.

Recently, I provided comments for Paryz.kz regarding the relocation of Russian businesses to Kazakhstan. In my comments, I highlighted several key aspects that I believe are important for understanding the current situation and future development prospects. "Kazakhstan faces a dual challenge: on one hand, the arrival of companies relocating from Russia can boost economic growth with new investments, job creation, and innovations. On the other hand, this increases competition for local businesses, which could result in lower revenues and more bankruptcies. Therefore, it is important for Kazakhstan to keep an eye on these relocated companies and create strategies to support local businesses, ensuring that foreign and local companies can coexist harmoniously while maintaining political and economic stability". https://lnkd.in/dMJiw3g5

📌 Did you know? ✔ 9 out of 10 products on the EU list of critical medicines are generics ✔ About 70% of drug shortages are for products with fewer than 5 suppliers, highlighting the importance and need for a robust generic supply chain ✔ In the 20 years since reference medicines lost their exclusive status for 40% of molecules, generics are becoming the only available therapeutic option? ✔ Significantly more patients are gaining access to a new class of drugs: generics have doubled access to drugs in areas of chronic disease? ✔ Generics continue to invest in Europe, i.e. in the production of APIs, as Europe's share of global API production fell from 53% to 25% between 2000 and 2022. At this point, it is impossible not to mention the €200 million investment Sandoz made in our penicillin production plant in Austria, underlining the ongoing commitment to guaranteeing sustainable access to antibiotics in #Europe. I invite you to read the report from IQVIA “Beneath the surface: unraveling the True Value of Generic medicines”. It demonstrates the necessity to take action in ensuring a sustainable access: We all have to be responsibly engaged! Thank you Aneta Smulska for summarizing the key highlights! Sandoz Polska

A Joint Declaration of the Republic of #Azerbaijan and the People’s Republic of #China on the establishment of a strategic partnership was adopted as part of the Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Astana. This is a very important development in all aspects political, economical, humanitarian etc. Azerbaijan in a very short term can become an #investment hotspot for Chinese companies, it's very vital to be well prepared for the influx of the #FDI, that's exactly what Azerbaijan has been doing for the past decades. The target is development of the non oil sector and diversification of the #economy through #technology and #innovation. Lets try to identify in short key sectors that can be attractive: 1) Energy Sector - The renewable energy is one of the industries that China has huge expertise in. Recent developments in energy sector of Azerbaijan and its interest in renewables presents good opportunities. 2) Infrastructure - The potential is huge given the geographical location of Azerbaijan. The development of logistics sector is one of the priorities for the government. Especially because Azerbaijan is part of One Belt One Road initiative, the investment in this sector is very attractive. China is one of the largest, if not the largest #Port operator in the world and the Caspian Sea presents additional opportunities here through investing in the infrastructure. 3) Agriculture - The growing global population and the logistical opportunities of Azerbaijan are vital here. One of the modules for developing of the sector are Agroparks built around the country. Chinese companies can benefit from the existing infrastructure and develop it further by introducing modern technological solutions. 4) Tourism - China has a lot of people, send them over here :) 5) Real Estate - very crucial sector for every country, often considered the backbone of the economy, employing huge amount of people. Azerbaijan with its growing population and growing economy will need more sq.m for people. The White City project in Baku has set the benchmark, a similar project can be built in Baku, Garadagh, Sumgait, Nabran. Karabakh recently liberated from occupation is of huge interest for the developers from around the globe. 6) The #IT sector - The past 5 years have been very crucial for Azerbaijan in this sector, the process of digitalization has been growing exponentially, but yet there is a huge amount of work that has to be done. Considering the amount of expertise that China has in this sector its evident that the potential is out there. 7) Manufacturing - Very vital for any economy in the world, but super highly competitive, investment heavy and time consuming. That's why in my personal opinion ive put it in the bottom of the list. Resume - All elements for the successful cooperation are in place and the future perspectives look positive + the political will of the two leaders of both countries = success.

The Europeans & Americans are in the grip of the military-industrial complex & warmongering leaders. Who are behind them & what drives them? These are essentially very dangerous people who have no morality & no conscience. They profit off war, death, destruction & devastation. It has become a huge business for them. This should not be a norm. War is nothing more than large scale murder. Warmongering should be made a crime. Anyone who speaks & calls for war or warlike measures is an enemy to humanity, a sociopath & psychopath, & must be treated accordingly, not lauded & given support. This should apply no matter how high they are in any hierarchy. Easier said than done, of course. But much more active measures must be undertaken by the UN & all countries to work towards peace as a norm, with war as an aberration & abhorrence. All war starts with provocation & warmongering. All countries must try to avoid provoking & confronting one another. War does not serve anyone's interests, except those who seek to profit from it.

One of the most valuable assets of Kazakhstan is its people living in peace and harmony. It’s a foundation on which members of our society can create completely unique and breakthrough products and solutions with broad applications and enormous potential and growth prospects. Almost 30% of our population are children under the age of 14, and the percentage of children over the age of 12 has increased by more than 5%. Absolutely amazing numbers when you think about the human potential represented in these figures. That’s why I believe that we should do all we can to support them. Providing drivers for growth and development as well as creating socio-economic elevators is how we can help all these kids reach their potential. This also explains why Freedom Holding Corp. invests heavily in education projects, supports youth sports, and promotes science programming in an effort to reach the widest possible range of young Kazakhstanis. It may seem at times that our attention is focused only on chess and football players, but this is not entirely true. This year, we supported two large projects in the field of science and technology, including the International Biology Olympiad (IBO) and the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). The first of them began this weekend in Astana, bringing together participants from 81 countries and Kazakhstan is represented by 4 schoolchildren: Galymzhan Baktybai, Amina Tynyrbai, Nurtore Torekhanuly and Dias Suleimenov. I wish these guys good luck, and I want them to know that we are proud of them. The IBO is headquartered in Germany and the fact that this event is being held in Kazakhstan is a reflection of the growing international trust that has been earned by our country. It is a high assessment of the achievements of our young biologists who have participated in the Olympiad since 1996. Over 28 years, our incredible students have won 80 awards including 2 gold medals, 20 silver medals, and 54 bronze medals. We believe that the Olympiad will further strengthen our international educational ties, will be an important step towards scientific discoveries and achievements that will change the world, and will help familiarize foreign guests with the capabilities of Kazakhstan, its historical monuments, rich national culture and achievements. We are honored to be the host of such an event. – – – #Kazakhstan #Qazaqstan

I recently had the pleasure of giving an interview to the 𝙈𝙤𝙩𝙤𝙁𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨.𝙥𝙡 portal, in which I was asked to summarize my career at 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶 𝗠𝗼𝗹𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. This interview provoked me to reflect on the last six years⏳ in which I managed the Company. I would like to say that it was an easy and pleasant period, full of nothing but successes... The truth is that it was a time of several stumbles and difficult situations like the pandemic 😷and the war in Ukraine 🔥, which affected the whole world and were a test for every manager. Was it therefore bad❓ 𝗔𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁❗ It is the stumbling blocks and difficult situations that grow us the most 📶, because they throw us out of our comfort zone. It is through the challenges that come our way that we get to know ourselves. Do we give up easily 🏳️, or do we 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹 🥊? In my opinion, three things are most important in management: ➡️ 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 - if you are aware that you are not omniscient, then you have room to learn and grow. ➡️ 𝗗𝗼𝗻'���� 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘂𝗽 - even the most difficult situations have some way out. I really liked the lyrics of Rocky Balboa, who said that it doesn't matter how hard you hit 🥊, but how many blows you are able to withstand and go on through life. ➡️ 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 - only he who does nothing makes no mistakes. Instead of berating yourself, enjoy the lessons, learn from them and move on 🐠. To sum up, I remember these six years very well, and in addition to stumbling blocks or challenges, there have also been successes 💪, which is very gratifying. #summarize #management #motofocus #liquimoly https://lnkd.in/gXDHth_b
