Imports in Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan - Imports (percent change)
Growth appeared to slow in the first quarter, restrained by the Covid-19 pandemic and the strict measures taken to curtail its spread. The short-term economic activity index decelerated in January–March amid nearly-muted retail sales growth and falling Chinese demand for crude. Moreover, investment was likely bruised as well, as hinted by souring business sentiment and declining private-sector activity. On the upside, robust industrial production growth, on the back of resilient manufacturing output, likely supported the overall expansion in Q1. Turning to the second quarter, economic conditions have likely deteriorated further as prolonged social distancing measures weigh on private consumption, while low oil prices hinder investment and curtail employment in the all-important energy sector. Meanwhile, on 27 April, the government eased lockdown conditions and allowed some businesses to open as it prepared to end the state of emergency on 11 May.Kazakhstan - Imports (%) Data
