Although Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian countries have resumed rapid economic growth, much of their recent progress simply correlates with surging world oil and gas prices. Growth could easily slow following the next energy-price slump or other external shock, such as proposals in Russia to limit employment and remittance opportunities for Central Asian workers there.
尽管哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦和其他中亚国家经济增长迅速，但最近取得的进步无非是借了国际石油和天然气价格飙升的东风。若发生能源价格再次下跌和其他外部冲击（比如俄罗斯限制中亚工人的就业和外汇汇款），经济增长很有可能会减速。
