The Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market of the Republic of Kazakhstan published securities market statistics for August 2025 (as of 1 September 2025), showing a 5.1% month-on-month increase in equity market capitalisation to KZT 39.6 trillion and a 9.0% rise in the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) Index to 6,993.05 points. The increase was mainly driven by price gains in KASE Index constituents including Kaspi.kz (+6.6%), National Atomic Company Kazatomprom (+8.7%) and ForteBank (+15.5%), while equity trading volumes fell 12.2% in the month to KZT 24.8 billion due largely to lower turnover in ForteBank and Kazatomprom shares. As of 1 September 2025, KASE trading lists included 89 share issues from 76 issuers (including two share issues in the “Non-listed securities” sector). In the KASE Global sector, 47 share names and 18 exchange-traded funds from 59 foreign issuers were available, and monthly trading volumes increased 30.1% to KZT 17.7 billion on higher turnover in names including ProShares Trust, Intel, NVIDIA and AMD. Outstanding corporate debt on KASE decreased 0.3% to KZT 14.0 trillion, while corporate bond trading rose 34.0% to KZT 496.8 billion and primary-market issuance totalled KZT 339.9 billion; KASE listed 609 corporate bond issues from 137 issuers. Outstanding government debt increased 1.6% to KZT 30.0 trillion, and government securities trading reached KZT 791.2 billion, with primary-market volumes down 8.2% to KZT 671.6 billion, including KZT 81.0 billion raised by 12 regional administrations and KZT 590.6 billion placed by the Ministry of Finance across eight issues at 16.75%–17.00% yield-to-maturity.
