Kazakhstan is a presidential republic of roughly 20 million people with a GDP of about 260 billion USD, led by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev — in office since 2019 and elected to a single seven-year term under the November 2022 constitution — with the capital Astana, renamed back from Nur-Sultan in September 2022. Effective 1 March 2024, the country unified under a single time zone at UTC+5 (Asia/Almaty, Asia/Oral), with eastern regions including Astana and Almaty turning clocks back one hour from the former UTC+6; despite spanning roughly 3,000 km west-to-east, Kazakhstan now runs on one offset. It is the world's largest uranium producer, a major oil exporter via the CPC pipeline, and a Belt-and-Road corridor hub. Equities list on KASE and on the Astana International Exchange (AIX) inside the AIFC. The January 2022 "Bloody January" unrest catalyzed ongoing reforms, while SCO and EAEU membership shape external alignment.
