Summary

A technical assistance mission assisted the Bureau of National Statistics (BNS) under the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan in developing discrete quarterly estimates of Gross Domestic Product by expenditure (GDPE). The mission assisted BNS staff in developing chain-linked time series of GDPE components by applying the benchmarking and annual overlap techniques. The results were compared to the cumulative estimates currently published on the BNS website. The new estimates of quarterly GDPE better reflect the precise quarterly structure of the economy. These improvements to data and methods will improve the understanding of the Kazakhstan economy, both for domestic policymaking and international surveillance.
