In several regions of Kazakhstan, the prices for gasoline and gas have increased. On February 15 - 16, reporters from Tengrinews.kz examined the offers at gas stations across various regions.
In January, Kazakhstan officially abolished state regulation of prices for gasoline and diesel fuel. The order was signed by the Minister of Energy and took effect at midnight on January 30.

It is important to note that the Ministry of Energy previously announced plans for a phased liberalization of prices for petroleum products (GSM) to eliminate the price gap with neighboring countries and minimize the risk of "grey" exports. This phased liberalization will lead to price increases, but the Kazakh authorities promise social support for vulnerable populations and agricultural producers.
