Kazakhstan cut its base rate 50 basis points, a fourth straight cut.

Inflation in Central Asia’s largest oil producer fell to its lowest since early 2025.

The National Bank of Kazakhstan cut as Brent crude stood at $116.70 a barrel on 23 October, up 6.2% in 7 days.

The bank warned there is little chance of another cut this year.
