The sisters from Shakhtinsk Ayaulym and Kamilla Ospanov brought two gold medals of the Asian championship to the piggy bank of the Kazakh national team. The International Junior Championship from 18 countries was held in Amman (Jordan). More than 400 athletes from 15 to 17 years old participated in it.Ayaulym is 13 years old, she won a gold medal in the weight category up to 63 kg.,and Camila is 16, she became the first in the weight class up to 70 kg.The girls have been preparing for the championship for a long time and carefully. According to their father and coach Zhenis Ospanov, they came to the competition at the peak of their form.– The rivals were very strong, the fights were intense. Athletes from India, Uzbekistan and Ukraine were the strongest. But we knew that this would happen, we knew who Camilla and Ayaulym would fight. We can say that we were confident of victory," says Zhenis Ospanov.Both girls became interested in boxing themselves, looking at their father and famous Kazakhstani athletes. Ayaulym was most impressed by Firuza Sharipova, whose fight the girl saw on TV in 2017.– It was a fight at Expo-2017. Then Ayaulym said: "I want the same thing." And since then, at the age of 7, she has been training. Camilla, the eldest, joined boxing a little later when she was 12 years old. In general, of course, there are difficulties in coaching daughters. Usually, if the coach swears, the kids don't pay much attention to it. And then, because I'm a dad, they get offended. But we have a rule: I'm the dad at home, and the coach in class. Of course, there are advantages in this too: my daughters are always under supervision, always near," Zhenis Ospanov shared.Now the girls need rest and recovery after intense competitions. Then they will start preparing for the Asian Games in Bahrain and the World Cup.The performance at the Asian Championship was a success for the Kazakh national team as a whole. Our athletes took first place in the overall standings, winning 44 awards, including 16 gold, 15 silver and 13 bronze. Uzbekistan is on the second line with 42 awards, India closed the top three with 43.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/988271?lang=kk

As of April 1, 2025, the return on pension assets managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK), formed through mandatory, mandatory professional and voluntary contributions, for the last 12 months, distributed to the accounts of contributors (beneficiaries), was 11.99%, while the return on assets from employer’s mandatory pension contributions was 7.37%, with inflation at 10.00%.The investment income trend over the last 3 years shows steady growth with the return on pension assets exceeding the inflation rate.As is well known, the amount of investment income varies depending on the situation in the financial and currency markets. Several factors influence the level of investment income:Financial market conditions: prices of stocks, bonds, and other instruments can fluctuate, which affects the level of investment income. As a result of market revaluation of individual instruments during the year, the securities’ value changes are observed. Therefore, income from market revaluation can be either positive or negative in any given period. The value of securities is influenced by many external factors, such as an increase in geopolitical risks, changes in international trade, redistribution of financial flows, market conditions and changes in capital market activity, as well as macroeconomic indicators.Exchange rates: if investments are denominated in foreign currency, changes in exchange rates affect the amount of investment income. Fluctuations in investment income can be associated with increased volatility in the markets, including the foreign exchange market. As a result, either a positive or negative foreign exchange revaluation of pension assets occurs, leading to changes in investment income observed by contributors on their individual pension accounts.It is important to note that pension savings are long-term investments intended primarily to provide benefits after the end of employment. The pension assets of the fund have a long investment horizon and the main goal of investing is to achieve real returns over the long term. Therefore, to objectively assess the results of managing these assets, data for at least 1 year should be analyzed. This period allows for an evaluation of investment effectiveness in a long-term perspective. Short-term data (weekly, monthly, etc.) is not representative, as it depends on constant short-term changes in market conditions. Diversification of the investment portfolio, where income from some instruments offsets temporary losses from others, ensures the preservation and stable return of pension savings in the long term.Thus, in the medium and long term, a positive real return on pension savings, which exceeds accumulated inflation is ensured. Since the foundation of the fully funded pension system in 1998, as of April 1, 2025, on an accrual basis the accumulated return amounted to 958.64% with inflation for the whole period of 863.96%.The net investment income accumulated since 2014 (after the consolidation of pension assets in the UAPF) as of April 1, 2025, amounted to 11.38 trillion tenge. Taking into account the payments made, the share of accumulated net investment income in the total amount of pension savings of Kazakhstanis as of April 1, 2025, is 39.6%, which demonstrates the significant role of investment activities in the structure of savings of citizens.It should be reminded that in Kazakhstan there is a unique guarantee of safety of mandatory pension contributions taking into account the inflation rate. In cases of decrease in profitability in a particular period, which affected the accumulated profitability of the contributor at the onset of the right to payments, there is a guaranteed compensation for the difference by the state.The whole system of investment management and accounting of pension assets is transparent: each contributor has the opportunity to see his investment income in his personal cabinet on the website www.enpf.kz or in the mobile application.Information on investment management of the pension assets of the UAPF and its financial instruments in which the pension assets of the UAPF are placed is published on the official website of the UAPF (www.enpf.kz) in the section “Statistics and analytics/Investment management of pension assets”. UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
