The first signal of a trend change came at the end of last year, when the leading central banks announced the transition to a cycle of raising rates and reducing balance sheets. In January-February, geopolitical and economic risks increased, to which KASE Index reacted by decreasing from historical highs reached at the end of last year. In March, index companies published annual reports, which allowed them to change the trend of declining stock indicators. At the same time, in April-May, some Kazakhstani companies announced decisions to postpone the payment of dividends. In June, the dividend season took place. KazTransOil JSC and KEGOC JSC have paid the dividends approved earlier. JSC "Eco Center Bank" (DB JSC "Bank CenterCredit") announced on June 10 the payment of dividends on common shares for 2019-2021 in the total amount of 50.0 billion tenge or 91.17 tenge per common share.

The decrease in the level of net profit in the first quarter, as well as at the end of the year, was recorded by KEGOC JSC – from 13.4 to 8.5 billion tenge and KazTransOil JSC – from 16.7 to 10.2 billion tenge.
