Kazakhstan: Secondary income receipts (BoP, current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Kazakhstan's secondary income receipts (BoP, current US$) fell 3.9% on 2024 (from US$2.77 billion to US$2.66 billion).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +18.5% and a typical year strayed about 38.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 129.5% in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 45.2% in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 5% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
