Today SEC «Turkestan» organized a press tour for media representatives, within which the participants were able to see with their own eyes the work of the stabilization fund: visit the eco market (fair), social shops and large supermarkets with counters for socially significant food products (hereinafter - SSFP), as well as ask questions about the mechanism of price restraint for products. 

During the press tour, Laura Zhanasbayeva, director of the Stable Fund of SEC «Turkestan», noted that at the moment more than 5.7 tons of goods are stored in the warehouses of the Stable Fund, including flour, potatoes, onions, sugar, rice, pasta, salt, etc.
