From January 1, 2025, thanks to the growth of pension savings, the annual increase in social parameters and the indexation of benefits, the size of pension benefits from the UAPF will continue to increase for those who are just starting or continue to receive their funded pension.As is known, the funded pension of each contributor depends on the amount of his pension savings formed through pension contributions and accumulated investment income. Upon reaching retirement age or other conditions provided for by the Social Code, the investor begins to receive regular payments from the UAPF.Let us remind you that payments from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund are made in accordance with the Methodology for calculating the amount of pension benefits, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 30, 2023. In accordance with it, monthly benefits to citizens retiring are calculated as follows: in the first year of receiving payments, the amount of pension savings is multiplied by the pension savings payment rate of 6.5% and divided by 12. In subsequent years, the monthly benefit increases by the pension indexation rate in the amount of 5%. At the same time, monthly payments from the UAPF are made in the amount of at least 70% of the subsistence minimum (hereinafter - SM), established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget (in 2025, SM - 46,228 tenge). The maximum amount of benefits from the UAPF is not limited and depends on the amount of pension savings of the beneficiary.For the following categories of citizens: persons with disability groups 1 or 2, established indefinitely, as well as persons who have reached retirement age, for whom compulsory occupational pension contributions have been paid in total for at least sixty months, the Methodology provides for correction factors that increase the calculated amount of the monthly pension benefit. For persons who meet more than one of the above conditions, the correction factor with the highest value is applied.Pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings in the individual pension savings account are exhausted. Since individual pension savings are the property of the contributor, they are also inherited in the general manner provided for by civil legislation. 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).

The first stage of testing of a Hungarian water-saving drug has been completed in Kazakhstan. At the initiative of the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, 4 scientific research institutes participated in the tests.These are the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Water Management in Taraz, the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Rice Growing named after I. Zhakhaev in Kyzylorda, the Agricultural Experimental Station of Cotton and Melon Growing and the Institute of Agrarian Innovations. During the tests, the effect of the drug on soil moisture in various groups and climatic conditions, as well as increasing yields under conditions of irrigation with small amounts of water, was studied.According to scientists, the drug allows saving up to 37% of water in rice fields. Since rice is watered in the traditional way for 90 days, and when using the preparation to retain moisture, watering for 51 days is sufficient. 23.9% of water was saved on sugar beet irrigation, up to 28.7% on corn. Experts also note an increase in yields."The first stage of testing showed good results. Next, you need to check the effectiveness of the drug on large cultivated areas. To do this, we need to meet with farmers and show them the test results, and conduct explanatory work. The demand for irrigation water is growing every year, and our farms are interested in switching to modern methods of saving water," Minister Nurzhan Nurzhigitov said.In turn, representatives of the Hungarian company Soil Solution stated that they intend to open a plant for the production of the drug in Kazakhstan if there is great demand from farmers."Today we are also considering the possibility of opening a factory for the production of our products in Kazakhstan. This will reduce travel costs. That is, the drug will become several times cheaper for farmers. It is also possible to export Kazakhstani–made products abroad," said Daniel Repassi, a representative of Soil Solution.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/water/press/news/details/915748

It should be recalled that the Republican Rural Olympiad in general education subjects for students of grades 9-11 was held in Astana in November–December. The Olympiad consisted of four stages in 13 subjects. The goal is to identify and support gifted and talented schoolchildren from rural areas. In 2024, more than 113,000 students were registered at the intra-school stage, which is 35,000 more than in 2023. 940 students reached the final of the republican competitions. All finalists are enrolled in the republican correspondence school "Daryn" for further preparation for future intellectual competitions.
