Earlier, the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan proposed changing prices for gasoline and diesel fuel for foreigners.

Let us recall that in 2022, differentiated tariffs for diesel were introduced in Kazakhstan. The maximum price for summer diesel fuel for foreigners is 450 tenge, for citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 295 tenge. Then the standard was introduced due to the high demand for fuel from foreign drivers. In February, the authorities were thinking about establishing uniform prices for diesel fuel for citizens of the republic and foreigners. But they changed their minds.
