Kazakhstan Extends LPG Export Ban by Six Months

Kazakhstan has extended its ban on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exports for another six months.

The decision was made by the Interdepartmental Commission on Foreign Trade and Participation in International Economic Organizations (IDC) as part of broader efforts to safeguard the domestic market and support sustainable economic growth, The Caspian Post reports, citing Kazakh media.

The meeting was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin.

The IDC extended the ban on the export of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) by road and rail from Kazakhstan for six months. This measure aims to ensure domestic supply, given the growing number of vehicles using LPG as fuel and the social importance of the gas.
