Bank of America has identified Kazakhstan as one of the most attractive frontier markets for 2026, citing three key factors: fiscal consolidation, structural cooling of inflation, and a sharp increase in liquidity in the KZT bond market. Analysts say this rare combination positions the tenge and short-term government bonds among the strongest investment ideas for the year. BofA’s forecast suggests the tenge could strengthen to 500 per dollar by the end of Q1 2026, supported by a disinflationary trend, high real interest rates, and expectations of a rate cut later in the year.
