History
PredecessorKazhegeldin
SuccessorBalgimbayev II

The First Balgimbayev Government was the third government of Kazakhstan, led by Prime Minister Nurlan Balgimbayev. The government was formed after Prime Minister Akezhan Kazhegeldin resigned on 10 October 1997 due to apparent health reasons.[1] That same day, President Nursultan Nazarbayev appointed Balgimbayev as Prime Minister, and he was promptly approved by the Parliament.[2]

Balgimbayev focused on addressing economic challenges, particularly following the 1998 Russian financial crisis, which significantly affected Kazakhstan's economy. His handling of the situation drew criticism, leading to an attempted motion of no confidence against him in October 1998.[3] Following the 1999 presidential election, Balgimbayev resigned on 21 January 1999 but was reappointed shortly after, leading the newly formed government.[4]
