what happened
Trading Economics reported that producer-price inflation in Kazakhstan climbed to 6.4% in September 2026, compared with 5.6% in August. The strongest acceleration came in the supply of electricity, gas, steam, hot water and air conditioning, where price growth reached 21.9% from 12% a month earlier.
Inflation in mining and quarrying also increased, rising to 5.7% from 5.1%. By contrast, producer-price growth in manufacturing slowed to 5% from 5.5%. The rate also eased in water supply, sewerage, waste collection and treatment, and remediation activities, reaching 8% versus 8.7%. Producer prices rose 1% month on month, following a 1.2% increase in August.
why it matters
The data point to stronger industrial price pressure in Kazakhstan’s energy and mining sectors. However, slower monthly growth and easing inflation in manufacturing and related services temper the broader acceleration.
