Uzbekistan has significantly reduced natural gas sales abroad in recent years due to growing demand in the domestic market. The country is increasing gas imports.
Kazakhstan is also reducing exports for a similar reason. The growth of domestic demand is due to the increase in gasification coverage of the country's regions and the fact that many large industrial enterprises have preferred gas to coal.
