/KASE, September 2, 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 August 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.).
"August saw another sharp decline in business activity in Kazakhstan’s
manufacturing sector. This adverse trend reflects the accumulated pressure of
several factors – weak demand, high volatility in commodity markets, rising
operating costs, as well as increased currency and tax pressures. Market
participants maintain moderate optimism, keeping expectations for the year at
the lowest levels in recent years. The recovery of business activity is directly
linked to the stabilization of macroeconomic conditions, strengthening the internal
resilience of companies, and the timely launch of investment projects in the
sector".
