Increase in Food Prices During July: Quantification Detailed
In July 2025, Kazakhstan experienced a mixed picture of inflation rates, with some regions seeing acceleration and others deceleration compared to June.
Food prices in the country increased by 11.2% year-on-year, marking a slight uptick from the 10.6% increase in June. However, on a monthly basis, food prices decreased by 0.5%. The highest increase in food prices was recorded in the Akmola region (14.0%), while the lowest was in Almaty (8.8%), which also saw a monthly decrease of 1.4%.
Non-food prices also saw an increase of 9.5% year-on-year, but this figure decreased by 0.1% compared to June. The maximum value for non-food price increase was recorded in the Abai region (12.2%), while the minimum was in Pavlodar region (7.0%), which also saw a monthly decrease of 0.2%.
The pace of price growth for paid services slowed to 14.9% year-on-year in July, down from 16.1% in June, and significantly below the republican average in the Mangystau region (9.3%). This region also saw a monthly decrease of 6.8%.
Inflation acceleration was recorded in 12 regions, deceleration in 7, and no change in one region. This suggests a varied economic landscape across Kazakhstan.
The causes for these inflationary trends are not explicitly detailed in the latest report from Liter.kz. However, in the broader economic context of 2025, factors such as budgetary pressures, non-oil deficit, and economic policies aimed at modernization and diversification under President Tokayev’s administration could contribute to regional inflationary trends.
For more specific, region-specific inflation drivers from Liter.kz, consulting the original article or a specialized economic report for Kazakhstan in July 2025 would be necessary.
