Some powers of state government and local self-government in cities in the economic sphere

Abstract

This article discusses the problematic issues of authority in the economic sphere of representative and executive bodies of state power and local self-government in cities of republican significance, the capital, cities of regional and district significance based on a study of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In the field of economics, in accordance with the legislation, state government and local self-government bodies are empowered, on the one hand, to prevent business entities from interfering in economic activities, and, on the other, to create conditions for their development. State government powers in cities coordinate the participation of enterprises and institutions in the development of the territory in order to ensure the integrated development of the territory. It is noted that government regulation contributes to the formation of economic relations and proportions, the coordination of economic processes and the linking of private and public interests. Various forms of state regulation are considered — rule-making, tax. The common features of the authority of Kazakhstan cities in the economic sphere, regardless of the diversity of their legal status, are justified. Taking into account the fact that a number of small cities in Kazakhstan are still not able to cope with the results of the industrial crisis of the nineties of the last century, a number of measures will be proposed as a way out of this situation.
