As of this date, UAPF pension assets held in trust by the NBRK, formed through compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as COPC), and voluntary pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as VPC), amounted to approximately 25,032.97 billion tenge[1]. The volume of pension assets formed through employer’s compulsory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as ECPC), held in trust by the NBRK, amounted to 690.47 billion tengePension assets under IPM management amounted to over 83.75 billion tenge. Investment portfolio of pension assetsmanaged 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 across currencies, countries, sectors, and issuers.The main investment areas for pension assets formed through CPC, COPC, and VPC, as of December 1, 2025, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 42.98%, bonds of quasi-public companies - 9.09%, foreign GS – 2.12%, bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.26%, deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 2.35%, shares and depositary receipts of issuers of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 1.91%, IFI - 1.27%,.The investment portfolio broken down by currencies in which financial instruments acquired through CPC, COPC, and VPC are denominated, as of December 1, 2025, looks like this: investments in national currency – 58.53%, in US dollars – 41.47% of the pension asset portfolioAn analysis of the income received shows that interest income on securities, including deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to 1,803.59 billion tenge; income from assets under external management, including exchange rate revaluation, amounted to 493.77 billion tenge; and other income amounted to 6.01 billion tenge. The market revaluation of securities was negative.Accrued investment income for the last 12 months from December 2024 to November 2025 amounted to approximately 2. 32 trillion tenge, with a return of 12.58% and an inflation rate of 9.69%.The ECPC's investment portfolio as of December 1, 2025, is as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 91.82%, cash in investment accounts – 0.23%, and deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 4.38%.The ECPC's investment portfolio includes only financial instruments denominated in the national currency.As of December 1, 2025, the ECPC's return over the past 12 months was 8.07%.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 return may be observed due to exchange rate volatility, changes in the market value of financial instruments, and the impact of inflation. Diversification of the 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. Thus, investment income has shown stable growth over the past three years, with pension asset returns exceeding the inflation rate.A detailed breakdown of 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.

Net investment income accumulated since 2014, following the consolidation of pension assets in the UAPF, exceeded 13.43 trillion tenge as of December 1, 2025. Taking into account payments made, its share of the total pension savings of Kazakhstanis as of that date is 41.5%. Thus, investment income plays a significant role in the formation of citizens' pension savings. Since 2014, there has been a significant increase in the efficiency of pension fund investment, contributing to a significant increase in the total savings of contributors (beneficiaries).It should be emphasized that pension savings in Kazakhstan represent a strategic long-term investment tool aimed at ensuring the financial stability of citizens in retirement. The implementation of a flexible investment policy and asset diversification ensure sustainable positive dynamics in the long term. The return on pension assets over specific short-term periods is not an indicator of their management effectiveness, as income from financial instruments and other transactions accrued over a short period does not always cover fluctuations in the value of securities and exchange rates over a given period. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct an objective analysis of investment income over a period of at least one year.Against the backdrop of dynamically changing macroeconomic conditions, the return on pension assets managed by the NBRK, formed through compulsory, compulsory occupational, and voluntary contributions, distributed to contributor (beneficiary) accounts, amounted to 9.69% for the 12 months ending December 1, 2025. Accrued investment income for the period from December 2024 to November 2025 amounted to approximately 2.23 trillion tenge.The return on pension assets for the same period, generated through mandatory employer pension contributions, amounted to 8.07%.In the medium and long term, a positive real return on pension savings (exceeding cumulative inflation) is ensured. Thus, the accumulated investment return from the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 to December 1, 2025, was 1054.45%, with inflation for the entire period at 933.55%.We also remind you that Kazakhstan has a unique guarantee for the safety of compulsory pension contributions, taking into account the inflation rate. In cases of a decrease in returns in a particular period, affecting the contributor's accumulated return upon the entitlement to benefits, compensation for the difference is guaranteed by the state.The entire investment management and accounting system for pension assets is transparent: each contributor can view their investment income in their personal account on the enpf.kz website or in the mobile app.Information on the investment management of UAPF pension assets and the financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are invested is published on the official UAPF website (www.enpf.kz) in the "Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets" section. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-rudnyi-kalasy-akimat/press/news/details/1139844?lang=kk

Digitalization and the introduction of artificial intelligence have become one of the main priorities in modernizing the public administration system. Today, the work done in this area has significantly improved the accessibility and quality of services provided to the population. Currently, 91 percent of public services are provided in electronic format. Citizens also have the opportunity to receive the same share of services via smartphone. The majority of the total number of 1,448 public services are available online, which has allowed to reduce time and paperwork. In addition, 39 digital documents have been introduced, which have completely replaced paper versions. This, in turn, has facilitated the interaction between government agencies and the population and ensured the transparency of processes. Systematic steps are also being taken in the field of artificial intelligence. On November 17, 2025, the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Artificial Intelligence" was signed, forming the legal framework for the industry. And on October 2, the International Center for Artificial Intelligence - Alem.AI - was opened, paving the way for joint work between domestic and international experts. It is planned to train 1 million citizens in the basics of artificial intelligence over the next 5 years. This initiative is aimed at increasing the digital literacy of society and the widespread use of new technologies. In addition, the National Artificial Intelligence Platform has been launched, where more than 35 AI agents are currently being tested in pilot mode. There are also significant changes in the field of education. Currently, 20 higher education institutions have introduced educational programs in artificial intelligence, and priority is being given to training qualified personnel. These comprehensive measures aimed at the development of digitalization and artificial intelligence will accelerate the technological development of the country and make public services more convenient and efficient for the population. #Digitalization #ArtificialIntelligence #PublicServices #DigitalKazakhstan #AlemAI #AIKazakhstan

Mobile services are becoming a key channel for accessing public services: since the beginning of 2025, Kazakhstani citizens have received more than 51.5 million services online, almost half of which were delivered via the eGov Mobile application.As of today, around 90% of public services in Kazakhstan are available online. The eGov.kz portal has over 15.1 million registered users, including 610.000 new users since the start of this year.The eGov Mobile application is used by over 11.7 million Kazakhstani citizens, with a monthly active user audience of 6,4 million. Over 671.000 users use the application daily. In 2025, citizens gained access to more than 220 digital public services.Besides, from standard certificates and services, citizens are also actively using new digital tools. The most popular services include the voluntary opt-out from bank loans and microcredits, the certificate of no criminal record, and the certificate of registration activities for legal entities.Since June 2025, Kazakhstan has introduced a new digital tool for citizen interaction with law-enforcement agencies — the «Law and Order» service, which allows users to report offenses promptly via mobile application without the need for phone calls or in-person visits.In August 2025, the eGov Mobile application received its largest update in recent years. The key innovation was the eGov AI intelligent search, powered by artificial intelligence technologies.In 2025, Kazakhstani citizens received over 25.7 million public services via the eGov.kz portal. Among the most requested services on the portal were the certificate of pension contributions, registration at an in-patient clinic and the F-6 certificate concerning property ownership.This year, measures to improve information security and safeguard user data against fraud in the use of public online services have been further reinforced. Thus, since October 2025, the authorization procedure on the eGov.kz portal has been updated. Now, after the first stage of authorization using a digital signature (DS), the user must verify their identity with an SMS code sent from 1414. The changes apply to the eGov.kz portal as well as its components (the eOtinish service and the «Open Government» portal).Additionally, to enhance user convenience, authorization using login and password has been introduced, allowing users to enter their IIN/BIN and password while identity verification is performed via digital signature (the updates affect the eGov.kz portal and its components, including the eOtinish service, the Smart Bridge platform, and the «Open Government» portal.A source: https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/maidd/press/news/details/1134705?lang=en Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/zhetysu-digital/press/news/details/1134980?lang=kk
