According to his word, gasoline price should be increased in the nearest future. "Do you know that currently the lowest price for gasoline in the near and far surroundings of 30-40 countries is here in Kazakhstan? Today, Kazakhstan, in fact, is the cheapest gas station for the whole of Eurasia. Drivers moving though the territory of Kazakhstan try to fill up fuel tanks in Kazakhstan. At the present time Kaz Munay Gas on behalf of the Government purchases petrol from abroad and sells it cheaper at a loss. In my opinion, price for gasoline in Kazakhstan should be increased," said U.Karabalin during his working visit to the city of Atyrau.
