Kazakhstan and Germany agreed to conduct a preliminary exchange of permits for road transportation for 2018, the press service of the Kazakh Ministry for Investment and Development.

“The parties agreed to establish a preliminary exchange of permits for 2018 for the Kazakh side in the amount of 12,250 units for bilateral transportation and transit, and for the German side - in the amount of 6,000 units. Permits for transport to/from third countries are agreed in the amount of 1,000 units for both parties,” the ministry said.

The agreement was reached during the meeting of the mixed Kazakhstan-German commission on international road transport in the city of Bonn.

The parties also discussed issues of cooperation in the field of trucking and determined quotas for the exchange of permit forms for the coming year.

In January-September 2017, the growth in the volume of cargo transportation by road between the two countries was 378,000 tons - from 166,000 to 204,000 tons – compared to the same period in 2016. The main transported goods include machinery, equipment, products of plant origin and products of the chemical industry.

Over 85 percent of Germany's trade turnover with all five Central Asian countries falls at Kazakhstan. In the past twelve years Germany has invested over $4 billion into Kazakhstan's economy (90 percent of investment into Kazakhstan's non-oil and gas sector).
