Zhenaly Orozbaev

Zhenaly Orozbaev is the Director of the Antimonopoly Regulation Agency of Kyrgyzstan. He has recently been in the news for explaining the country's decision to purchase fuel from Russia rather than Kazakhstan, despite lower prices in Kazakhstan. Orozbaev highlighted that Kazakhstan's fuel prices are subsidized by the government, making them artificially low, while the export prices for other buyers are significantly higher, rendering it economically unfeasible for Kyrgyzstan to import fuel from its neighbor.
