The Tengri Partners Kazakhstan Services PMI® is compiled by IHS Markit from responses to questionnaires sent to a panel of around 250 service sector companies. The sectors covered include consumer (excluding retail), transport, information, communication, finance, insurance, real estate and business services. 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.

Latest Updates

Freedom Holding Corp.'s Kazakhstan Services PMI rose to 55.1 in June 2025, up from 54.3 in May, marking the fourth consecutive month of growth and the fastest expansion on record since the survey began in March 2019. The robust growth was driven by the implementation of new projects and business models, which collectively spurred demand and attracted additional customers, despite a slight softening in new business volumes. As a result, employment returned to growth after three consecutive months of decline. On the price front, input cost inflation accelerated to a four-month high, fueled by rising prices for raw materials, rent, and utilities, as well as a weaker exchange rate. Output price inflation also quickened to a four-month high, as firms passed higher costs on to customers. Finally, business sentiment weakened to its lowest level in a year, amid concerns over market competition, foreign trade risks, and potential changes in tax policy.
