Kazakhstan may lift moratorium on issuing licenses for subsoil use

Kazakhstan may lift moratorium on issuing licenses for subsoil use, Trend cites Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev as saying on Wednesday.

"Regions should be interested in attracting investments. I think that the government should lift the moratorium on subsoil use and licenses should be issued on some types of subsoil," Nazarbayev said, addressing a meeting with the governors in Akorda.

He said that investments attracted into a particular field should partially remain in the region's budget.
