AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Oil Transit Pressure: Kazakhstan says it rerouted part of its crude exports after temporary Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) intake limits in July, sending volumes toward Aktau, the Atasu–Alashankou line and Atyrau–Samara, while also weighing BTC, Caspian Sea shipments via Azerbaijan, and Baku–Supsa; CPC still carries about 80% of Kazakhstan’s crude, and officials stress there’s no large-scale alternative yet. Black Sea Shipping Deal: Under U.S. pressure, Ukraine reportedly agreed to avoid attacks on certain non-Russian tankers and CPC-linked infrastructure, aiming to stabilize flows after drone strikes disrupted loadings. Finance & Trade: Kazakhstan and China signed a currency swap deal and agreed to pilot central bank digital currency settlements, with talks also focused on easier cross-border payments. E-commerce Expansion: Kaspi.kz renamed Rabobank Turkey to Hepsi Bank after its acquisition approval, as it pushes its SuperApp into Turkey. Wildberries in Kazakhstan: Kazakhstan’s trade ministry says Wildberries plans new warehouses in Astana and Almaty, though completion timing won’t fix current shortages. Culture & Diplomacy: A Kazakhstan–Tajikistan Abai monument event highlighted shared cultural ties, while Algeria’s expert links upcoming Qurultay elections to new inter-parliamentary dialogue prospects. Tech & Education: Astana hosted the closing of the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence, with Bulgaria’s students winning medals. Sports: Kazakhstan’s weightlifters set major records in Tashkent, and Elena Rybakina advanced in Toronto’s National Bank Open.
