According to experts, the establishment of a single time zone will eliminate time barriers between residents of different regions of the country, improve the coordination of transport and other communications, as well as have a beneficial effect on business, interaction between government agencies and emergency services.

Up to and including February 29, two time zones UTC+5 and UTC+6 were used in Kazakhstan. Most of the country's territory (with the exception of the western regions) was in the UTC+6 zone.

It should be noted that the entire territory of Uzbekistan is also located in the UTC+5 time zone. Thus, in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, the time will be equal this spring.
