/KASE, August 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 July 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.).
"The July PMI data highlight persistent challenges in Kazakhstan's manufacturing
sector. Despite softening demand, firms are showing adaptability by expanding
their client base. The tenge depreciation has intensified input cost inflation,
particularly in import-dependent segments, underscoring the ongoing need for
supply chain diversification. Government support – mainly focused on higher
value-added manufacturing – has yet to yield systemic impact but retains
potential for longer-term growth. While one-year expectations have been
moderately revised, overall business sentiment remains relatively resilient".
