The Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Major General Genghis Arinov, together with Akim of the region Serik Shapkenov and veterans of civil protection agencies, opened a facility that will significantly increase the level of safety in the region's reservoirs. This rescue station has no analogues in the CIS. The project is unique in several key ways. Construction of the facility began at the end of October 2024, and it was completed in a record 2.5 months. During the construction process, high-quality prefabricated modular materials were used, which allowed not only to speed up the construction process, but also to ensure the durability and reliability of the facility. The project received financial support and approval from the local akimat. Addressing the staff, the Head of the Department noted: "The opening of this rescue station is an important step towards ensuring the safety of residents of Atyrau region. We continue to implement innovative and effective solutions to protect people, improving the infrastructure and equipment of our units. The President and local executive bodies support us in this. This station will become a real pillar for the region, and it will serve as an example for other territories of the country. The speed of its construction and equipping with modern equipment speaks to the high professionalism of our rescuers." The facility includes an administrative block, including work rooms, a control room, a rest room for rescuers, changing rooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms with showers. There is also a box on the territory of the station for the placement of special equipment and swimming facilities, which makes it possible to respond promptly to emergencies. During the event, Genghis Arinov handed over the keys to new emergency vehicles. These vehicles, equipped with modern rescue equipment, were purchased at the expense of the republican budget. An illustrative moment was the demonstration of new technology, including the Alligator airboat, which is a unique floating means for performing rescue operations in hard-to-reach places on reservoirs. In addition, a two-storey office building for the families of rescuers was built on the territory of the station. The Minister personally handed over the keys to the new apartments to the station staff, which was an important step in improving their social protection. The 11 rooms have already been occupied by the station staff, for whom comfortable conditions have been created. Special attention is paid to every detail: the authors of the project made sure that the residents could move in with one suitcase, without thinking about household details. During the event, Genghis Arinov left a memorable note and parting words in the form of the rescue station. Today, employees of the emergency response department of Atyrau region ensure regular prevention of compliance with safety regulations in reservoirs, as well as conduct search and rescue and rescue operations. Last year, rescuers made 559 emergency visits, rescued over 100 citizens, including 70 children. During the period of large-scale floods, the staff of the operational rescue squad evacuated more than three thousand local residents.

Pension savings of Kazakhstanis are invested both in the country and abroad on market terms in various financial instruments in different currencies. As a result, investment income consists of various sources: income in the form of remuneration on securities (deposits and other transactions), income in the form of market and currency revaluation of financial instruments, as well as income on assets under external management.This is a widespread global practice. Pension funds around the world are constantly looking for attractive and profitable opportunities to invest and increase the pension capital of contributors. Currently, the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) is engaged in investing pension assets, and since 2021, investment portfolio managers (IPMs).As part of the information and explanatory work among the population, an Open Day on the topic of "Investment strategies of investment portfolio managers (IPM). Consideration of current issues of contributors." was held online in all branches of UAPF JSC.This event was unique. For the first time, representatives of investment management companies, having met on one online platform, had the opportunity to tell everyone interested about their investment policy, share the results of their work and answer current questions from contributors. Participants in the event organized by the UAPF were also able to learn first-hand how to choose the right IPM, what you first need to pay attention to when deciding to transfer your money, risks, rules and algorithms for transferring pension savings. Event materials can be found on the UAPF website https://www.enpf.kz/ru/about/press-center/projects/openday2024.phpLet us recall that since January 2021, UAPF contributors have been able to transfer their pension savings to private investment companies - IPMs. Initially, it was possible to transfer only savings that exceeded the minimum sufficiency threshold or remained in the pension account after concluding a pension annuity agreement with an insurance company. However, since July 1, 2023, investment opportunities have expanded - UAPF contributors can transfer up to 50% of their savings through compulsory and compulsory occupational pension contributions, as well as 100% of voluntary contributions to trust management of private companies. Today, there are 5 of them. Each contributor can find a full list of IPMs and reviews of their activities on the UAPF website.Having decided to transfer savings to one or more IPMs, the contributor must contact UAPF with an application, which can be submitted through a personal account on the website or in person at any branch of the Fund. All the necessary information is posted on the website www.enpf.kz in the services section - Transfer of part of pension savings to trust management, as well as in the video instructions on the Youtube channel БЖЗҚ/ЕНПФ: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBVC_LdZhssUAPF continues to keep track of pension savings even after they have been transferred to a private manager. Each contributor can see information on how much the IPM has earned them in their individual pension account statement. However, it is recommended to evaluate the results of investment activities in the long term. The Social Code stipulates that savings can be transferred from one IPM to another or back to the NBRK management no more than once a year.An important point to remember when transferring pension savings to IPM: the state guarantee for the safety of pension savings is provided only for savings managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. When transferring pension savings under IPM management, the state guarantee is replaced by a guarantee from the management company. It must ensure a return of at least the minimum level of return on assets. This level is calculated based on the weighted average return on pension assets transferred for management to all IPMs operating in the pension asset management market.We remind you that contributors can always receive advice on pension system issues both at UAPF branches and online: on the enpf.kz website, in messengers and social networks, as well as at the Open Day events. 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. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits. The Fund also carries out accounting of target assets and target requirements, accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, payments of TS to their recipients in bank accounts, accounting for returns of TS in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the National Fund for Children program (More details at www.enpf.kz)Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay/press/news/details/914276

In the region, in addition to eco-campaigns and traditional Sabbaths, information and explanatory work was organized among the population within the framework of the "Clean Kazakhstan" program. Today, on January 8, a seminar was held with young people on the topic "Innovations in Ecology" at the Taldykorgan Youth Service Center. At the seminar, students of grades 11-12 of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Taldykorgan presented an autonomous robot for forest restoration. In one cycle, the robot can plant 60 seedlings, thanks to the tracked chassis, it can work on any soil and move on difficult terrain. Alieva Ayaulym Maratovna, a student of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Taldykorgan, said: "This project is a full-scale, ready-made robot. In automatic mode, it plants seedlings with a closed root system, trees of any type. The robot is controlled autonomously using artificial intelligence, which allows it to navigate around obstacles such as rocks, trees, and ravines. It is worth noting that this project not only plants trees, but also predicts how the forest will grow, and also cleans nature from garbage. If garbage is found, the robot automatically collects it with the help of a manipulator and places it in a container for collecting garbage up to 20 kg. In the Zhetysu region, since April 8, 2024, all planned events have been actively held within the framework of the "Clean Kazakhstan" program, more than 251 thousand people have participated in the eco-campaigns and Saturdays.
