Kazakhstan's discrepancy in expenditure estimate of GDP (current LCU) was 5.07 trillion in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 863.72% from 526.14 billion in 2014 (25.43% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2024, Kazakhstan's discrepancy in expenditure estimate of GDP (current LCU) rose 2.74 trillion on 2023 (from 2.33 trillion to 5.07 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +77.78 billion and a typical year strayed about 589.03 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 4.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 2.74 trillion in 2024 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.33 trillion in 2022. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 27% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

How it compares
In 2024, Kazakhstan had the 2nd highest value of the 37 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures
Although the SNA ensures there is perfect consistency between the three measures of GDP, this is a conceptual consistency that in general does not emerge naturally from data compilations. This is because of the wide disparity of data sources that must be called on and the fact that any error in any source will lead to a difference between at least two of the GDP measures. In practice it is inevitable that many such data errors will exist and will become apparent in exercises such as the balancing of supply and use tables. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
