# Third Massimov Government

The Third Massimov Government (Kazakh: Мәсімов үшінші үкіметі, romanized: Mäsımov üşinşi ükımetı; Russian: Третье правительство Масимова) was the 12th composition under the Government of Kazakhstan and 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 the devaluation of Kazakhstan's currency, the tenge, which caused inflation and led to protests in several cities. As a result, President Nursultan Nazarbayev reappointed Massimov, who was quickly approved by the Parliament due to his prior record of promoting business-friendly policies during his premiership from 2007 to 2012.
The cabinet continued until the 2015 presidential election, after which Massimov briefly resigned. However, on the same day, 29 April 2015, he was reappointed by President Nazarbayev as prime minister, continuing to lead the government in his fourth cabinet.
