Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI
The Freedom Holding Corp. Kazakhstan Manufacturing PM is compiled by S&P Global from responses to questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 250 manufacturers. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP. Survey responses are collected in the second half of each month and indicate the direction of change compared to the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey variable. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses. The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase compared to the previous month, and below 50 an overall decrease. The indices are then seasonally adjusted. The headline figure is the Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI). The PMI is a weighted average of the following five indices: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%) and Stocks of Purchases (10%). For the PMI calculation the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction to the other indices.

Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI Rises Amid Strong Demand
The Freedom Holding Corp. Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI rose to 52.1 in February 2025, up from 51.5 in January, signaling further improvement in manufacturing conditions. This marked the 12th straight month of growth, driven by stronger new orders, supported by improved demand, new contracts, and advertising efforts. As a result, output continued to grow, extending its year-long streak. Despite this, employment growth slowed to a nine-month low, while work backlogs rose at the fastest pace since February 2024. Moreover, purchasing activity stayed solid, but growth slowed to a four-month low, with customs delays causing slightly longer delivery times. On prices, input costs hit a two-year high for the fourth month, driven by rising raw material, transportation, and utility costs, pushing output prices to their fastest rise since last September. Despite these pressures, business sentiment hit an eight-month high, with manufacturers optimistic about stable demand and government investment.

Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI Drops from Record High
The Freedom Holding Corp. Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI fell to 51.5 in January 2025 from December's peak of 53.9, marking the 11th straight month of growth in factory activity. Both output and new orders slowed while buying activity remained marked. Simultaneously, staffing levels rose for the 11th month, albeit modestly. Backlogs of work increased for the first time in six months, due to material shortages. Delivery times neared stabilization, lengthening a bit and to the least extent in the current sequence of deterioration since December 2019. On the cost front, input cost inflation accelerated for the third month and reached the highest since last August, on currency weakness and higher prices for raw materials and electricity. Output prices continued to rise, but the pace of inflation eased to the weakest since June 2024. Finally, sentiment touched a 7-month peak, above the series average, boosted by the imminent signing of new contracts and the planned expansion of production.

Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI Rises to New Record High
The S&P Global Kazakhstan Manufacturing PMI increased to 53.9 in December 2024 from 53.5 in November, marking a fresh record peak, due to a record rise in output and new orders on the back of widespread reports of improving customer demand. As a result, employment increased modestly, with backlogs of work continuing to fall despite a rapid influx of new orders. Also, purchasing activity rose sharply while delivery times lengthened due to logistics issues, but the rate of deterioration was the softest in eight months. On prices, input cost inflation accelerated to a three-month high due to higher raw material prices amid a depreciation in exchange rates. Selling prices rose solidly, though eased more than in November and were weaker than the series average. Lastly, business sentiment remained positive due to expectations of further improvements in demand conditions. However, sentiment deteriorated for the second consecutive month.
