FX.co ★ Kazakhstan Producer Inflation Eases for 2nd Month

Producer price inflation in Kazakhstan eased to 5.6% in August 2026, the lowest level in seven months, down from 9.1% in July.

In contrast, price pressures increased slightly in the sector covering electricity, gas, steam, hot water and air conditioning (12% vs. 11.8%) and in water supply and waste collection (8.7% vs. 7.9%).
