Kazakhstan's foreign trade turnover reaches $103 billion in January–August 2026

Kazakhstan's foreign trade turnover reached $103 billion in January–August 2026, according to the Ministry of Trade and Integration. The figure represents an increase of 12.8% compared with the same period of the previous year. Kazinform reports the information, citing the ministry.

The report gives the overall turnover figure and its year-on-year change for the eight-month period. It does not break the total down into exports and imports. The comparison is with the same January–August period of 2025.

Because turnover combines exports and imports, the reported figure reflects total trade in both directions. The original headline states that export growth outpaced imports fourfold, but the article's text does not provide separate export or import figures.
