Kazakhstan has approved its first national standards in artificial intelligence (AI). This is an important step in implementing the Concept for the Development of Artificial Intelligence for 2024–2029, approved by the government.Seven standards have been developed that set uniform rules for everyone working with AI technologies—from developers and businesses to government agencies. They cover all key stages of the AI ​​lifecycle: from general concepts and system architecture to risk management and big data analysis.One of the key documents of the ST RK is ISO/IEC 5339. It describes general principles for all types of AI applications—from conversational systems like ChatGPT to industrial and medical solutions.One of the standards specifically notes the need to protect user privacy. This means not only the security of data used in system training and operation, but also the prevention of unauthorized access and ensuring that AI does not accidentally disclose personal information.The new standards could also form the basis for certifying organizations working with artificial intelligence. This will allow Kazakhstani companies to confirm compliance with international requirements and increase trust among partners and consumers both domestically and in foreign markets.Thus, the standards not only regulate technology, but also foster a culture of responsible and informed use of artificial intelligence, which is becoming a key condition for Kazakhstan's successful digital transformation.At the same time, work is underway to establish a testing and reference center for artificial intelligence, which will include an AI Standards Hub—a laboratory, certification, and testing center. The center will serve as a platform for collaboration with ISO, ITU, OECD, and other international organizations shaping the future of responsible use of artificial intelligence.Relevant government agencies, IT communities, and scientific organizations, as well as the National Information Technologies JSC and the Internet Association of Kazakhstan, actively participated in the development of the standards.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti-ktrm/press/news/details/1091791?lang=kk

According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Credit Bureaus and Formation of Credit Histories", credit bureaus provide not only a credit history itself, but also a personal credit rating – an equivalent of a bank scoring.Personal credit rating is a score that is automatically calculated by a credit bureau based on credit history records and other personal data of the borrower. The borrower can find out his rating to assess the likelihood of loan approval.The rating is influenced by a lot of factors, including:presence of delays,number of active loans,transfer of debts to collectors, etc.Personal credit rating has an informational nature, and even a high score does not always guarantee loan approval. Banks and microfinance organizations (MFOs) use different scoring models, including their own algorithms. How does a credit rating affect raising a loan from a bank?Credit rating allows to assess integrity and reliability of the borrower. The higher the rating, the lower the credit risks, and the higher the probability of loan approval.Personal credit rating also helps control the debt burden. To avoid default, it is important to:reduce the debt level,close especially zero credit cards,avoid delays,look for extra income sources. Can banks and MFOs refuse a loan due to a low credit rating?If the borrower has a low credit rating, banks and MFOs have the right to refuse to issue a loan.A credit rating is important because it reflects financial reliability of the borrower and is formed based on history: presence of delinquencies, volume and frequency of debts, debt burden, legal and collection cases.Before issuing a loan, financial institutions have to assess client's solvency – this is a requirement of the law and the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market of the Republic of Kazakhstan.A low rating means a high risk of non-repayment, and the lender has every right to refuse to issue a loan. According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Credit Bureaus and Formation of Credit Histories", these bureaus can be used when making a credit decision. However, issuing a loan is not an obligation, but a right of the creditor. Even in the absence of delays, the bank may refuse if it considers the risk is too high. How to improve your credit rating?Repay loans on time: it is better to make a payment 5-7 business days before a write-off date.If there is an opportunity for early repayment, use it. However, make sure that the bank has correctly recorded the early repayment. Ask for a certificate of full repayment of the loan. Do not hide from creditors if a delay occur. Since 1 October 2021, a single legal regime for settling problem debts has been in effect in Kazakhstan How to check your credit rating?A citizen of Kazakhstan can get their credit rating once a year free of charge. This can be done in the following ways: Via the eGov.kz portal. Via website or application of First Credit Bureau (1cb.kz) Personally (offline): you can contact:State Credit Bureau JSC (SCB)First Credit Bureau LLP (FCB),PSC or Kazpost office.You must have an identity card with you. If this is the first request in a current year, the report is issued free of charge.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ardfm/press/news/details/1091644?lang=kk

Bankruptcy of individuals is a relatively new institution in the legal system of Kazakhstan, which entered into force on March 3, 2023. Its main purpose is to give citizens the opportunity to get rid of unbearable debts and start their financial life anew. However, the recognition of bankruptcy is not the end, but the beginning of a new stage, where it is crucial to restore solvency, credit history, and financial stability. The legal basis of bankruptcy of individualsThe bankruptcy procedure of individuals is regulated by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens" (No. 178-VII dated 30 December 2022). The Law provides for three mechanisms of settlement of debts:Out-of-court bankruptcy — when having a debt up to 1600 MCI and the absence of property and income.Judicial bankruptcy — when having a debt over 1600 MCI or the presence of property.Restoration of solvency — debt restructuring for up to 5 years without bankruptcy recognition. Consequences of declaring bankruptcyAdvantages:writing-off of bad debts;termination of accrual of interest and penalties;stop pressure from creditors.Restrictions:initiating a subsequent bankruptcy procedure after seven years have passed since the completion of the previous one;obtaining new loans is possible only with the bank’s notification about the bankruptcy after 5 years.These measures are aimed at preventing repeated insolvency and fostering responsible financial behavior. Ways to restore solvency3.1. Creation of financial disciplinepersonal budget management and cost planning;avoiding impulse purchases;creation of a reserve fund (10-20% of monthly income).3.2. Credit repair use of debit cards and microloans with fast repayment;timely installment rates and utility bills;gradual formation of a positive credit reputation.3.3.  Revenue Increasetraining and professional development;search for additional or remote sources of income;participating in government support programs — «Bastau Business», «Zhastar praktikasy», hrants from Atameken. The role of the state and banksBanks are implementing rehabilitation programs for clients after bankruptcy, which typically include measures such as limited credit limits, secured cards, and financial literacy training. The state, in turn, implements programs of social adaptation and the return of citizens to economic activity.Bankruptcy is not a defeat, but an opportunity to start anew. The legislation of Kazakhstan provides citizens with a chance to get rid of debts and restore their financial reputation. The main thing is to use this chance wisely: develop discipline, plan expenses, and gradually regain the trust of banks. With consistent steps, financial recovery becomes achievable.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1094702?lang=kk
