“National Fund for Children”: what is it and how to receive the payment? 23.09.2026
In his 2022 address, the Head of State put forward the idea of creating a program for the fair distribution of national wealth, one of the implementation directions of which is the “National Fund for Children” program. Under this project, citizens of Kazakhstan from birth until they reach the age of majority will receive funds annually starting in 2024, based on 50% of the average investment income of the National Fund. As part of this initiative, children under 18 will receive 50 percent of the investment income of the National Fund of Kazakhstan annually. In 2026, each child was credited with USD 130.71. For children who have been participating in the program for three years, the total amount of savings, taking into account the investment income received, amounted to USD 370.56. According to the UAPF, as of September 1, 2026, payments of targeted savings for improving housing conditions and paying for education amounted to USD 76142.45 thousand (365,967 recipients), including: - for the improvement of housing conditions -USD 50 433.4 thousand (241 284 recipients); - for education -USD 25709.05 thousand. (124,683 recipients). When can these funds be used? Upon reaching the age of 18, the savings will be transferred to individual accounts at the UAPF, and young people have the right to use them for: • improving housing conditions only in the Republic of Kazakhstan. • paying for education (both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad). The accumulated amount from the UAPF account can be transferred to the chosen purpose through authorized operators – Otbasy Bank and Halyk Bank. You can check information about whether a child has participated in the program on the website kids.enpf.kz using the child’s IIN, in the personal account on the egov.kz portal, in the Halyk and Kaspi.kz apps. If the targeted savings are not claimed within 10 years after the child reaches the age of majority, they are credited to their individual pension account. Accruals are terminated: • in the event of death; • upon the entry into force of a court decision declaring a project participant dead; • in the event of loss of citizenship. In the event of death, heirs may apply to receive targeted savings from the Unified National Pension Fund in accordance with the procedure established by law. Using National Fund resources to support the younger generation of Kazakhstani citizens is a strategic decision aimed at the sustainable development of the country. The “National Fund for Children” program is an investment in the future of our country!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1296878?lang=ru

The Ministry of Finance is introducing a unified digital accounting system for state property on the e-Qazyna platform. 23.09.2026
At the briefing of the Central Communications Service, representatives of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan spoke about the digital transformation of the state property management system and the further development of the e-Qazyna.kz platform.Nurmakhan Adilbekov, Chairman of the Committee for State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Zhanasyl Ospanov, Chairman of the Board of “Information and Accounting Center JSC,” informed about the key areas of this work.As part of the Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan continues to improve digital tools for managing state assets.Today, the e-Qazyna.kz platform combines 40 digital services. They cover the accounting of state and quasi‑state organizations, electronic tenders, privatization, leasing and trust management of state property, monitoring of state property, and other processes.One of the key tasks is to transition from a fragmented system for tracking state assets to a unified digital system based on e-Qazyna.kz. The implementation of this initiative is included in the roadmap until 2029.Within the framework of this work, digital profiles of state property objects and management entities are being created. They will make it possible to track the life cycle of assets, use up‑to‑date photographs and geographical coordinates of the objects, and, in the future, data from space monitoring.A separate area is related to the digitalization of accounting for the state and quasi‑state sectors. It is planned to introduce cloud accounting, integrate e‑Qazyna.kz with the “e‑Minfin” system, and automate the intra‑corporate accounting of property of entities in the quasi‑state sector.The digitalization of accounting for national and strategic resources is ongoing. In the future, it is planned to create a unified digital database of the State Register, which will include information about land and water resources, the forest fund, groundwater, hydrocarbon deposits, and solid minerals.The next stage in the system’s development will be the introduction of artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies. Their use will make it possible to apply predictive analytics to forecast the wear and tear of assets, identify signs of inefficient use of property, and plan maintenance and modernization costs for state assets more accurately.Of the 79 functions of the State Property and Privatization Committee, 36 have the potential for digitalization. To date, 26 of them, or 72%, have been automated. In the third quarter of 2026, a pilot automation of another eight functions is planned, including electronic voting in the management bodies of joint‑stock companies and partnerships, as well as the approval of the charters and balance sheets of state‑owned enterprises.The digital profile of the balance holder will also be implemented in stages. In 2026, it will include buildings and structures; in 2027, land plots; and in 2028–2029, transport, equipment, and other types of assets.The development of e-Qazyna.kz is aimed at creating a unified digital ecosystem for managing state property. This will make it possible to improve the efficiency of using state assets, increase revenues from their use, and optimize maintenance costs.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1296866?lang=ru

The Baiterek Holding's unified front office for supporting entrepreneurs has begun operating within the Damu Fund's regional network 23.09.2026
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin visited the front office on its first day and learned about the new business support format.The unified front office combines the support tools of the Baiterek Group organizations using a one-stop shop principle. Here, entrepreneurs can receive advice, select the appropriate support tool, submit an application, and arrange project support right through to funding approval.Front offices will operate in all regions of Kazakhstan, based at Damu Fund branches. For entrepreneurs in remote areas and villages, mobile offices—buses carrying specialists—will be provided. This will allow them to receive the necessary advice and support without traveling to the regional center, including in regions where individual development institutions do not have their own representative offices.Front-office consultants intend to provide information on support instruments for Baiterek Group organizations:-Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund – concessional lending, interest rate subsidies, guarantees, and non-financial support measures for small and medium-sized businesses;-Development Bank of Kazakhstan – financing of large investment projects;-Qazaqstan Investment Corporation – direct investment and venture financing instruments;-Export Credit Agency of Kazakhstan – export credit insurance;-Industrial Development Fund – concessional and leasing financing for enterprise modernization."Today, our specialists not only work with the Fund's instruments but also help select solutions from other Baiterek holding organizations. Essentially, the Damu regional network is becoming a single point of access to a wide range of financial and non-financial instruments – from preferential loans and guarantees to investment financing, export insurance, and leasing," said Farkhat Sarsekeyev, Chairman of the Board of the Damu Fund.The technical launch of the unified front office took place in February of this year. Since then, consultants have received approximately 30,000 requests from entrepreneurs. The front office has supported and financed 1,250 projects.Business Support and Assistance Centers are also operating in pilot mode within the unified front office. Their purpose is to assist entrepreneurs in resolving specific issues requiring interaction with government agencies, financial institutions, and other organizations.The Centers' specialists conduct an initial analysis of the problem and identify possible solutions. If necessary, relevant government agencies, financial institutions, akimats, and Baiterek Group organizations are involved. The pilot project covers Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, the North Kazakhstan Region, and Aktobe Region."It's important that this support is available in all regions of the country. We plan to expand the 'Isker Aimaq' program to rural areas, making our approach to supporting entrepreneurs more targeted. This is where Damu's regional branches and mobile front offices play a major role. The consultants' role is to support businesses at all stages of their development. Another important area is Business Support and Assistance Centers. Entrepreneurs often face a specific problem but don't know where to turn or how to solve it. These centers are being created precisely for such situations. They are currently operating in pilot mode in five regions of the country," noted Serik Zhumangarin.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1296836?lang=ru
Constitution-2026: the main directions of reforms 23.09.2026
On July 1, 2026, a new Constitution officially entered into force in Kazakhstan, adopted in a national referendum. This historic step has radically changed the balance of power, strengthened the protection of citizens' rights and laid new economic principles for a Just Kazakhstan. The renewal of the basic law was supported by 87.15% of citizens who voted in the referendum. Experts note that the new version strengthens legal guarantees for the population and makes the government more responsible to society. The scale of modernization is unprecedented – the reform affected about 84% of the text of the previous edition of the basic law. The most notable institutional change is the elimination of the bicameral Parliament. The Senate and the Mazhilis have stopped their work. They are being replaced by the Kurultai, an updated unicameral Parliament. The Kurultai will include 45 deputies elected exclusively by proportional representation (on party lists) for a 5-year term. The deputy must be a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan over the age of 25 and have lived in the country for the last 10 years. Deputies have full immunity. The Kurultai passes laws, controls the work of the government (up to the expression of no confidence), coordinates the appointments of the Prime Minister and Vice-President, and appoints judges of the Supreme Court. The President retains the right to appoint the Prosecutor General, the heads of the National Security Committee, the National Bank, the Constitutional and Supreme Courts. The Parliament is informed about the appointments after the fact. The post of Vice-president (which previously existed in 1991-1996) is returning to the political system of Kazakhstan. The President appoints him with the consent of the Kurultai. If the Parliament refuses to approve it twice, the head of state has the right to dissolve the Kurultai. The Vice President provides assistance to the President in cooperation with the Parliament and the Government. The appearance of this position changes the scheme of transfer of powers with the early departure of the head of state. First of all, the duties pass to the Vice-President, second to the Chairman of the Kurultai, and third to the Prime Minister. After that, new presidential elections must be announced within 7 days and held 2 months in advance. The powers of the former Parliament have been officially terminated. Elections to the new Kurultai are scheduled for August 2026. At the same time, the adoption of a new Concept of Legal Policy will begin to bring all the laws of the country in line with the updated Constitution. One of the main innovations is the establishment of the Halyk Kenesi (People's Council). This is the highest advisory body, which will include ordinary citizens of Kazakhstan. The People's Council is designed to strengthen national unity, but its main feature is real legal levers. The Council received the right to directly submit draft laws to the Kurultai for consideration and propose holding national referendums. The Constitution of 2026 has been adapted to the realities of artificial intelligence and digitalization. For the first time, the basic law establishes strict protection of personal data in the digital environment. This is a step towards the establishment of Kazakhstan as a regional center of digital law. An analogue of the famous "Miranda rule" is being introduced – the duty of representatives of law enforcement agencies to immediately read out their rights to detainees. Lawyers emphasize the importance of the norms on the right to clearly know what a detainee can expect, as well as guaranteed compensation for harm in case of unlawful prosecution. A total ban on foreign financing of political parties and NGOs engaged in political activities has been introduced. Caring for nature and protecting the environment have now been elevated to the rank of a constitutional duty. As part of the rethinking of economic and social relations, the new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan clearly outlines not only the rights of citizens, but also their mutual obligations to the state. Thus, an important milestone of fiscal justice is the updated approach to the formation of the country's budget, the foundation of which is fixed in the basic law.Article 35 of the Constitution states: "The payment of legally established taxes, fees and other mandatory payments is the duty and obligation of everyone." This provision enshrines the principle of universal taxation, ensuring that any fiscal obligations can be imposed solely within the legal framework adopted by the new legislative body, the Kurultai.The preamble of the updated document enshrines the unshakeable principles of Kazakhstan: sovereignty, independence, unitarity, rule of law and inviolability of borders. #Change of borders#Law and OrderDepartment of Explanatory Work and contact center of the Department of State Revenue in Pavlodar region Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-pavlodar/press/news/details/1296777?lang=ru
