His fellow servicemen help voice the characters and share creative ideas, while commanders note that such initiatives strengthen the fighting spirit and unity of the team.“When creating the animated film, I paid special attention to the visual aspect, using modern animation and editing software. This made the project more expressive, realistic, and modern. However, there are still details I would like to improve,” — shared Aydın.Balancing service and creativity is not easy, but Aydın skillfully manages both.

In his September 8, 2025, Address, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that Kazakhstan has learned profound lessons from the Aral Sea tragedy and has been systematically working to restore it for over two decades. Thanks to these measures, the Northern Aral Sea has been preserved: its surface area has increased by 36%, its water volume has almost doubled, and this has reduced mineralization levels. The head of state emphasized the need to actively continue work to raise the water level in the Aral Sea. The President also noted that the fate of the Caspian Sea is a matter not for one country, but for the entire region. In this regard, he instructed that an interstate program for preserving the Caspian's water resources be developed in close cooperation with partner countries. #Kazakhstan #PresidentialMessage #KassymZhomartTokayev #Aral #Caspian #Ecology #WaterResources #SustainableDevelopment #NatureProtection

UAPF JSC (hereinafter referred to as UAPF) presents a report on the management of pension assets by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as NBRK) and investment portfolio managers (hereinafter referred to as IPMs) on the website enpf.kz in the section "Statistics and analytics - Investment management of pension assets".As of October 1, 2025, the total volume of pension assets managed by the NBRK and IPM amounted to 25,716.69 billion tenge. 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 25,047.64 billion tenge. 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 594.85 billion tenge.Pension assets under IPM management amounted to over 74.20 billion tenge. Investment portfolio of pension assets managed by the National Bank of the Republic of KazakhstanThe 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 October 1, 2025, are as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 42.08%, bonds of quasi-public companies - 9.33%, bonds of second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 2.66%, shares and depositary receipts of issuers of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 1.95%, microfinance organizations - 1.23%, deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan - 0.87%.The investment portfolio broken down by currencies in which financial instruments acquired through CPC, COPC, and VPC are denominated, as of October 1, 2025, looks like this: investments in national currency – 56.75%, in US dollars – 43.25% of the pension asset portfolio.An analysis of the income received shows that interest income on securities, including deposits and reverse repo transactions, amounted to 1,450.29 billion tenge; income from foreign currency revaluation, excluding assets under external management, amounted to 235.62 billion tenge; income from assets under external management, including exchange rate revaluation, amounted to 661.64 billion tenge; and other income amounted to 5.30 billion tenge. The market revaluation of securities was negative.Accrued investment income for the last 12 months from October 2024 to September 2025 amounted to approximately 3.11 trillion tenge, with a return of 14.11% for this period, with inflation at 12.90%.The ECPC's investment portfolio as of October 1, 2025, is as follows: government securities of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 98.53%, cash in investment accounts – 0.86%, and deposits of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan – 0.61%.The ECPC's investment portfolio includes only financial instruments denominated in the national currency. As of October 1, 2025, the ECPC's return over the past 12 months was 8.44%.As a reminder, pension savings are long-term investments.

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.
