According to the USGS, Kazakhstan has increased it gold production from about 22 tons of gold a year in 2008 to about 70 tons in 2017. As Russia converts its roubles into domestically mined gold, Kazakhstan is converting its Kazakhstani Tenge into gold.
The Kazakhstan Tenge is a weak currency. Kazakhstan has the opportunity to turn its tenge into gold by buying gold from its domestic supply.
