The first bright holiday of spring — Gratitude Day — has quickly taken a special place in our society, becoming a celebration of warmth and kindness, friendship and unity. Today, in the meeting hall of the district akimat, District Akim Zhandos Yerkinbek congratulated everyone on this heartfelt holiday and honored a number of citizens who have made significant contributions to the development of the district. Among them are true heroes of peaceful times who work tirelessly to ensure the uninterrupted functioning of essential public services.Honoring workers and promoting their dedicated service has become a good tradition in our country.By decree of the President, a decision has been made to hold a national referendum on the new Constitution on March 15, 2026. The new document, which is one of the main symbols of our statehood, clearly establishes the principle: “The state exists for the person, not the person for the state.” Indeed, our country provides all the necessary conditions to protect human rights and freedoms and to ensure a comfortable life.As everyone knows, in the last days of winter our region experienced severe weather conditions. The temperature suddenly rose and heavy rain fell throughout the day. This was followed by strong winds and freezing temperatures. It should be noted that such natural phenomena have not occurred in our district before.In several settlements, power lines, equipment, and trees were covered with thick ice, and heavy snowfall caused reinforced concrete poles and trees to collapse. To eliminate the consequences of the emergency, an оперативный штаб was established by order of the regional akim, and a special commission began its work.Efforts to restore electricity are being carried out around the clock, in an intensified two-shift schedule, to reconnect residents as quickly as possible.This situation became a serious test for our region. The uninterrupted provision of essential services (water, electricity, gas, heating, etc.) is under the direct supervision of the regional akim. The difficulties caused by severe weather are being overcome together in unity.During this challenging time, a number of citizens who demonstrated dedication and unity received Letters of Appreciation from the regional akim.We express our sincere gratitude to all residents for their understanding of the temporary inconveniences and to the utility workers who carried out their duties day and night with great responsibility.May our unity remain strong and our independence everlasting!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda-karmakshy/press/news/details/1173221?lang=kk

The enpf.kz website presents a report on the management of pension assets of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the IPM as of February 1, 2026. UAPF JSC (UAPF, the Fund) presents a report on the management of pension assets by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and investment portfolio managers (IPM) on the website enpf.kz in the section "Statistics and Analytics - Investment Management of Pension Assets". As of February 1, 2026, the total volume of pension assets managed by the NBRK and the IPM amounted to KZT26,337.27bln. As of this date, UAPF pension assets held in trust by the NBRK, formed from compulsory pension contributions (CPCs), compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPCs), and voluntary pension contributions (VPCs), amounted to approximately KZT25,435.96bln. The volume of pension assets formed from employer compulsory pension contributions (ECPCs) held in trust by the NBRK amounted to KZT806.69 bln.Pension assets under IPM management amounted to KZT94.62 bln.  Investment portfolio of pension assets managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan The National Bank, as the trustee of the UAPF pension assets, pursues a balanced investment policy: investing in various types of financial instruments by currency, country, sector, and issuer.The main areas of investment of pension assets formed through CPC, COPC, and VPC, as of February 1, 2026, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 42.92%, bonds of quasi-public companies - 9.36%, deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.53%, bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.48%, shares and depositary receipts of issuers of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.38%, government securities of foreign states - 2.09%, microfinance organizations - 1.23%.The investment portfolio, broken down by currencies in which financial instruments acquired through the CPC, COPC, and VPC are denominated, as of February 1, 2026, is as follows: investments in national currency account for 59.33%, and investments in US dollars account for 40.66% of the pension asset portfolio.An analysis of the income structure shows that interest income on securities, including deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to KZT179.5 bln, income from the revaluation of securities amounted to KZT105.48 bln, and other income amounted to KZT0.14 bln. The revaluation of securities, foreign currency, and externally managed assets, including taking into account exchange rate revaluation, was negative.The accrued investment income for the last 12 months from February 2025 to January 2026 amounted to approximately KZT2.28 trln, with a yield of 9.74% for this period. ECPC's investment portfolio as of February 1, 2026, was as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 87.90%, repo transactions – 6.23%, NBRK deposits – 5.85%, and cash in investment accounts – 0.01%.The ECPC investment portfolio includes only financial instruments denominated in the national currency. Interest income on securities, including deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to KZT9.42 bln. The market revaluation of securities was negative.As of February 1, 2026, ECPC's return over the past 12 months was 10.36%.As a reminder, pension savings are long-term investments. Therefore, it is advisable to analyze investment income over a period of at least one year. In certain periods, a decrease in returns may be observed due to foreign exchange rate volatility, changes in the market value of financial instruments, and the impact of inflation. Diversifying an investment portfolio, whereby income from some instruments offsets temporary losses from others, ensures the safety and sustainable return of pension savings over the long term. For example, investment income has shown stable growth over the past three years, and the return on pension assets exceeds the inflation rate.A detailed breakdownof the investment portfolio of financial instruments managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including issuers, and an overview of investment activities are available on the official UAPF website.

Contributors with voluntary pension savings can transfer 100% of their savings to an IPM.As a reminder, a system for evaluating IPM performance based on Ki composite indices was introduced on January 1, 2026. A composite index is a benchmark that includes national and global stock market indices, providing an objective assessment of IPM performance, taking into account global economic trends and capital market conditions. Since 2026, IPMs have been implementing pension asset management activities based on a new approach, which involves choosing one of three investment portfolios with different levels of risk, return, and investment terms.If the return on pension assets falls below the established minimum (composite benchmark), the IPM must offset the negative difference from its own capital. Thus, private managers are responsible for ensuring the safety of savings using their own capital. It should be noted that since 2021, when it became possible to transfer pension savings to IPM management, all management companies have complied with the established standards, and therefore there has been no need to offset the established difference.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-rudnyi-kalasy-akimat/press/news/details/1173343?lang=kk
