/KASE, April 3, 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 March 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.).

"The services sector in Kazakhstan continues to show high sensitivity to changing market conditions. At 50.3 points in March, the seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index showed a slight improvement over the month and remains close to the neutral line. Despite a more pronounced growth in new business compared to February, there has been a reduction in new hiring for the first time in the past seven months. Inflationary pressure in the services sector eased, with a more noticeable slowdown in the growth of selling prices recorded. Meanwhile, cost pressures remain sharp. Expectations for the near future reached a 12-month high, indicating an increase in optimism in the sector".
