The solution has been certified for information security and put into commercial operation, providing a reliable basis for analytics and management.Currently, a digital taxpayer profile is being formed, including information about property, business, taxes, participation in public procurement, support measures and personnel indicators. For tax purposes, dossiers have been created for 1.9 million individual entrepreneurs, 584 thousand legal entities and 20.4 million individuals. Based on the collected data, automated calculation of taxes and control over the timeliness of their payment are carried out. Budget revenue models are predicted, and the tax potential of industries and regions is determined.The staff of the Center for Electronic Finance has also developed a digital map of state finances, which reflects the flow of cash online. It is complemented by a National Product Catalog covering more than 15 million items. From January 2026, its use will become mandatory, which will provide a single reference book for accounting, statistics, public procurement and customs, reduce shadow turnover and create fair competition conditions.The Ministry is already implementing new tax and customs administration tools. The e-Tamga system is aimed at preventing the issuance of fictitious invoices and identifying "one-day" firms. The integrated tax administration system has combined seven outdated solutions into a single platform, providing full tax support to entrepreneurs. The Keden system automates customs processes, introduces remote interaction between participants in foreign economic activity and uses elements of artificial intelligence.A single entrepreneur's personal account has been created for businesses – a portal and a mobile application that combines all the services of the Ministry of Finance in a user-friendly interface. Within the framework of budget planning, unique identifiers of projects and expenses have been introduced, according to forecasts, this innovation will save budget funds. A digital profile of the government agency has been launched with online reflection of receipts, expenses and financial discipline. Online budget monitoring and cloud accounting systems identified risky transactions and ensured a return to the budget of about 800 million tenge this year.All these projects demonstrate the systematic course of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan to digitalize public finances, increase transparency and trust of citizens.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1070844?lang=kk

The Embassy of Kazakhstan in Mexico Promotes Kazakh-Mexican Cooperation in the Field of Education 13.10.2025
Mexico City, September 17, 2025 – Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to Mexico Almurat Turganbekov met with Director of the Raindrop School of Excellence Leticia Flores Gomez, who conducted a campus tour for the Kazakh side.The Embassy of Kazakhstan promotes cooperation with Mexico in the field of education. Cooperation in this area has great prospects and remains one of the priorities for the Embassy’s activities.For instance, in the state of Mexico, an educational institution led by Kazakhstani citizens has opened on the basis of an existing school. One of the distinctive features of the new school is that it offers the opportunity to study certain subjects in English, which is not entirely common for ordinary, inexpensive schools in Mexico. Another feature is that the school provides a full cycle of school and pre-school education in one complex.Kazakh citizens stepped up with this idea in the state of Mexico, considering the growing need for affordable school education in the country. The Mexican government introduced special scholarships to give all children the chance to get an education.The Embassy, in turn, also supported this idea and expressed its readiness to initiate additional Kazakh language lessons at the school, open a section for the intellectual game “Togyzkumalak”, and expand the school library’s collection with books about Kazakhstan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-mexico/press/news/details/1070869?lang=kk

New Mechanism to be Introduced for Regulation of Insolvent Banks 13.10.2025
The new Banking Law provides for introduction of a new mechanism for regulation of insolvent banks which complies with the best international practices.Madina Abylkassymova, Chairperson of the Agency for Regulation and Development of the Financial Market, made this statement at a presentation to the Majilis of Parliament of the draft laws ‘Banks and Banking Activities in the Republic of Kazakhstan’ and ‘Changes and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the Regulation and Development of the Financial Market.’ The draft laws were developed for the purpose to implement the 2024 and 2025 Addresses of the Head of State."Key difference from the current approach is a switch to a clear system of anti-crisis regimes, which will be applied sequentially depending on the extent of deterioration of a bank's financial condition. The regulation mechanism consists of three anti-crisis regimes: enhanced supervision, restoration of financial stability, and regulation of an insolvent bank." "The switch between regimes will be carried out according to pre-established triggers, which will ensure a timely response and predictability of the regulator's actions," said Madina Abylkassymova.It should be noted that this approach is an international standard and has been implemented by most leading regulators, including the EU, US, and UK."With a view to prevent deterioration of banks' financial condition, new requirements are being introduced for development of bank recovery plans and regulation plans. Recovery plans contain detailed measures to bring a bank out of a crisis situation and prevent its insolvency. Development and annual update of such plans will become the responsibility of banks," added the ARDFM Chairperson.Backbone banks will be required to maintain a sufficient level of loss absorption capacity, which will allow them to convert their liabilities into capital in case of insolvency and reduce the need for external support.State participation in bank support will be permitted only as a last resort, only for backbone banks and only if their share capital is fully utilized and liabilities are converted into capital."The only form of state support will be direct state participation in capital of a backbone bank to maintain stability of the financial system. State participation will be temporary and compensated, and will be limited to the minimum necessary amount. It will be accompanied by a replacement of the bank's shareholders and management, a ban on dividend and bonus payments, restrictions on risky transactions, and implementation of a financial recovery plan," emphasized the Head of the financial regulator.After financial stability is restored, bank will be sold to a new investor, and the invested state funds will be returned to the budget.Powers of public authorities in regulation of bank activities are also clearly delineated. Competence of the Government and the National Bank in regulation of backbone banks is established. The Agency will be responsible for supervision of the implementation of recovery and regulation plans, as well as application of the anti-crisis measures for all banks. The Financial Stability Council, responsible for decisions on application of regulation measures and participation of the state in support procedures, will play a key coordinating role."Thus, a modern system for regulation of insolvent banks is under development that will meet international standards and ensure a balance between stability of the financial sector and protection of clients' interests," summed up Madina Abylkassymova.The new Banking Law takes into account technological changes, growing role of the banking sector in economic financing, increased competition, and involvement of new market participants, as well as issues of promoting the fintech and liberalizing the circulation of digital assets.
