Earlier, at an extended meeting of the Senate Committee on Economic Policy, Kazakhstan’s Deputy energy minister, Polat Aksurakov, said: “Our policy is to build strategic reserves first. Today, we are trying to reach the level of at least 300,000 tons of 92-octane gasoline. Because we can’t export anywhere, our gasoline production is excessive, and there are more than 350,000 tons of gasoline in the tank.
It is noteworthy that Kazakhstan’s gasoline production in January 2019 was 378,900 tons, a sharp increase of 30.9% over January 2018.
