Kazakhstan is committed to further cooperation within the OPEC+ framework, as noted by the country’s Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov at a meeting with Secretary General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Haitham Al Ghais. Bektenov emphasized OPEC’s important role in ensuring the stability of the global market. The coordinated actions of oil producers and exporters within the organization help mitigate potential negative impacts and stabilize the market. According to Bektenov, Kazakhstan supports OPEC’s initiatives and adheres to production restrictions alongside other countries, including the current voluntary commitments. Haitham Al Ghais highlighted Kazakhstan’s influence in maintaining balance and price formation in the oil market. The country has been a member of the OPEC+ Agreement since 2016, with over 90 subsoil users engaged in oil production in the country.
