EME Macro/Strategy: Kazakhstan – pick-up in 2021E

The effect of COVID-19 depressed domestic economic activities, especially services and commodities exports, with the preliminary data pointing to a 2.6% contraction in 2020E.
This outperformed our 3.0% contraction expectation for 2020E. The positive dynamics that contributed to this are industrial production, which contracted at a soft pace, after solid growth in previous years, and the construction sector, which recorded growth, albeit on a downward trajectory since 2019. Notably, even though services showed an overall decline, we saw a divergent trend in the communication sector, which recorded a significant pick-up compared to previous years.
