/KASE, September 4, 2025/ – Freedom Holding Corp. has provided Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) with a review of the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) of Kazakhstan's service sector 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.). "In August, Kazakhstan’s services sector continued the slowdown in growth that had begun a month earlier. Rising cost inflation is complicating demand support. Nevertheless, current business activity and 12-month expectations remain in the optimistic zone. At this stage, services remain the key buffer supporting the economy, while manufacturing has fallen deeper into contraction. The sector’s further outlook will depend on the adaptability of the services market and the strength of intersectoral linkages amid current macroeconomic and market challenges".
