Accrued investment income of Kazakhstanis for 12 months reached 2.74 trillion KZT 14.10.2025
Over the past 12 months, as of September 1, 2025, the accrued investment income of Kazakhstanis reached 2.74 trillion KZT. The return on pension assets of the UAPF at the expense of MPC, MPPC, VPC amounted to 12.60% with inflation of 12.20%. The yield on the MPCE for the last 12 months as of 01.09.2025 is 7.64%.At the same time, the net investment income of Kazakhstanis for 8 months of this year amounted to 1,270.99 billion KZT. Of these, 1,265.72 billion KZT accounted for income from investing pension savings at the expense of mandatory pension contributions (MPC), mandatory professional pension contributions (MPPC), voluntary pension contributions (VPC), depositors and recipients credited to individual pension accounts (IPA). Net investment income from investing pension savings at the expense of mandatory pension contributions of the employer (MPCE) credited to conditional pension accounts (CPA) of Kazakhstanis amounted to 5.26 billion KZT.The accumulated investment return in the long term exceeds inflation. Since the foundation of the funded pension system in 1998, as of September 1, 2025, the cumulative return amounted to 979.95%, with inflation for the entire period of 827.78%. As a reminder, investment income is generated by remuneration on financial instruments (securities, deposits and other transactions), on assets under external management, as well as through market and currency revaluation of financial instruments. To ensure the safety of pension savings and stable profitability, the NBRK and private investment portfolio managers (IPM) carry out constant diversification of the investment portfolio – they place assets in various financial instruments and currencies, regularly adjusting its structure depending on market conditions.The entire system of investment management and accounting of pension assets is transparent: each depositor has the opportunity to see his investment income in his personal account on the www.enpf.kz website or in the mobile application.Information on the investment management of pension assets of the UAPF and on the financial instruments in which the pension assets of the UAPF are placed is published on the www.enpf.kz website in the section “Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets”.You can also get a lot of interesting and useful information on the YouTube channel of UAPF.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1079925?lang=kk
The Head of State: "As a just state, we must take into account the proposals of every citizen that are useful for the common cause" 14.10.2025
"Parliament is an important structure that embodies our independence and statehood. This is a truth that will never change, and will remain so in the future." In general, the main goal of the reform and the direction of the work to be carried out in accordance with it were widely discussed in the Address. All the work to be done before the referendum must be carefully thought out and carried out seriously. I believe that qualified specialists should openly express their opinions and give effective suggestions. In order for the final decision, that is, the public opinion, to be correct, every opinion expressed on this issue must be thoroughly checked, analyzed, and comprehensively analyzed. This is a very important issue. Therefore, the Working Group must fulfill its duties in accordance with a truly professional attitude. In particular, it is necessary to analyze and study all the opinions received through the portals "e-Otinish" and "e-Gov". As a just state, we must take into account the proposals of every citizen that are useful for the common cause. Each amendment to the Constitution must be carefully thought out and prepared. It is necessary to delve deeply into the meaning of each article, each norm, that is, we need to clearly identify legal and procedural issues. In addition, many other issues may arise. In short, the task before us is very large. Great confidence is being placed in the working group. I wish you good luck and success in your endeavors!
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev: "About 40 articles of the Basic Law will be changed" 14.10.2025
"For me, as the head of state, Parliament is the main pillar of the political system in our country. Therefore, it will first be necessary to make a number of changes to the Constitution." About 40 articles of the Basic Law will be changed. Then, at least 10 constitutional laws and more than 50 codes and laws will need to be amended. This can be considered a task equivalent to adopting a new Constitution. Of course, it is impossible to do all this work under your feet, in one go. Careful preparation is required. "Therefore, I would like to express my thoughts on some conceptual aspects of the upcoming reform."
Head of State: "The transition to a unicameral Parliament is fully consistent with international trends" 14.10.2025
"As you all know, our country is undergoing major changes in various directions. As a country, we are implementing political, socio-economic reforms. These changes must continue. We cannot stand still. It is important to continue implementing the strategy of radical modernization of our state in accordance with the concept of "Strong President - Influential Parliament - Accountable Government." This means that the effectiveness of the presidential system of power in our country will be preserved. "In general, the transition to a unicameral Parliament is fully consistent with international trends. Two-thirds of the world's countries have such a parliamentary system. Right now, what we need is a common position and a reasonable, weighty proposal. Therefore, we will carefully study and consider all opinions and proposals in detail."
President addresses first meeting of Parliamentary Reform Working Group 14.10.2025
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev: "Parliamentary reform is an issue directly related to the fate of our country and people" "Today we gathered for the first meeting of the Working Group on Parliamentary Reform. As you know, last week I signed a decree on the establishment of a special working group. Parliamentary reform is a very important and responsible task facing our country. In my address, I clearly stated that this issue should be comprehensively discussed in the civil sector, among experts, as well as in the current Parliament. Today, at our first meeting, we have representatives of the Parliament, the Presidential Administration, the Government, and political parties, as well as lawyers, scientists, and public figures. All of them are well-known citizens of the country, experts in various fields. "I would like to reiterate: Parliamentary reform is an issue that is directly related to the fate of our country and our people. I believe that each member of the working group will correctly understand this historical task and will actively work on it."
