The Second Massimov Government (;) was the 9th composition under the Government of Kazakhstan that was led by Prime Minister Karim Massimov. It was formed on 2 April 2014 after Prime Minister Serik Akhmetov resigned from office just weeks after Kazakhstan's currency tenge lost its value, causing an inflation which led to protests in the cities.[1] As a result, President Nursultan Nazarbayev appointed Massimov, who was quickly approved by the Parliament to be the Prime Minister due to his previous record of promoting business-friendly policies during his previous term as the Prime Minister from 2007 to 2012.[2]
The government ended after President Nazarbayev appointed Massimov as the head of the National Security Committee on 8 September 2016.[3] Massimov was succeeded by his First Deputy Bakhytzhan Sagintayev who led the new government after he was confirmed by the Parliament the next day on 9 September.[4]
