/KASE, July 1, 2025/ – Freedom Holding Corp. has provided Kazakhstan Stock
Exchange (KASE) with a review of the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) of
Kazakhstan's manufacturing sectors for June 2025.
Below are comments from Yerlan Abdikarimov, Director of the Financial Analysis
Department of Freedom Finance Global PLC (a 100% subsidiary of Freedom
Holding Corp.).
"In June, Kazakhstan's manufacturing sector recorded a noticeable decline in
output for the first time in a long while, amid slowing demand and technical
disruptions. In our view, this is more of a short-term correction than the
beginning of a prolonged downturn. Alongside the slowdown in the growth of new
orders, pressure from operating costs and risks related to raw materials,
logistics, and the currency factor remains. The likelihood of delays in the
implementation of major infrastructure projects is becoming increasingly
apparent. At this point, all of this has prompted companies to revise
production plans, reduce staff, and cut inventories. Nevertheless, plans for
the near term are showing increased optimism".
