• Amid positive market conditions, export revenues from energy resources have been recovering since 2021. Thus, the price of Brent crude oil is more than $ 100 per barrel;
• Italy has become the leader in the import of Kazakhstan products, and its share in the export structure of Kazakhstan is 18.4%;
• In 5 months of 2022, Kazakhstan exported mineral resources worth $ 23.2 billion, which is 81.3% more than in 5 months of 2021 (12.8 billion);

• By regions, the most was exported from Atyrau – 13.6 billion dollars, imported to Almaty – 5.1 billion;
• The Russian Federation remains the main trading partner of Kazakhstan: imports – 6.6 billion dollars, exports – 2.7 billion;
• The growth of world raw material prices are not able to compensate for the rise in the price of finished goods purchased by Kazakhstan;
• The change in the real exchange rate (REP) did not affect the trade turnover of Kazakhstan with Russia, while a sharp decline in the REEP may have a delayed effect on the trade volume and terms;
• Kazakhstan still has significant barriers to export, the basket is poorly diversified, and the structure of export products is dominated by goods of downstream activities;
• There is a threat of suspension of the main route of oil exports to Europe – the Caspian Pipeline Consortium;
• In the future China, India, Turkey, and Central Asian countries can become stable sources of imports and markets for the export of goods and services
