/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".
