In Kazakhstan, the work of all financial organizations, including the stock exchange, has been temporarily suspended. This was announced on Thursday by the press secretary of the National Bank of the country Olzhas Ramazanov on the air of the Khabar 24 TV channel.

"The Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market and the National Bank of Kazakhstan ... report on the temporary suspension of the activities of all financial organizations," - quoted by TASS.

According to him, this decision was made against the backdrop of the counter-terrorist operation and temporary disruptions in the Internet. It is noted that this measure is aimed at protecting the health and life of employees and clients of financial institutions. The work of financial organizations in Kazakhstan has been suspended so far only on January 6.

Let us remind you that the mass protests in Kazakhstan related to the rise in prices for liquefied gas have escalated into riots and clashes with the security forces. The head of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, declared a state of emergency and appealed to the CSTO partners with a request to help overcome the terrorist threat. The Collective Security Treaty Organization has decided to send CSTO peacekeeping forces to Kazakhstan.
