In Ust-Kamenogorsk, at the Anti-Crisis Center of military unit 3477 of the “Shyǵys” Regional Command of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, a tactical medicine training course was conducted with the participation of instructors from the U.S. Armed Forces.The goal of the course was to enhance the professional preparedness of the “Bürkit” special forces unit in providing medical assistance under combat (tactical) conditions.During the training, the guardsmen practiced the sequence and practical application of the MARCH algorithm, mastered techniques for controlling massive bleeding and maintaining airway patency, and learned procedures for treating chest injuries and managing foreign objects embedded in the body. They also gained experience in field blood transfusion and infusion therapy.Particular attention was given to the planning of medical support for combat operations — including the organization of evacuation routes, coordination with command, and establishment of casualty collection points.As a result of the training, the servicemen of the law and order troops strengthened their practical skills in providing aid under time and resource constraints.

As of October 1, 2025, the return on pension assets held in trust by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and formed through compulsory, compulsory occupational, and voluntary contributions over the past 12 months was 14.11%, with an inflation rate of 12.90%. Accrued investment income for the period from October 2024 to September 2025 reached 3.11 trillion tenge.The return on pension assets from employer’s compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) over the past 12 months was 8.44%. It is important to note that the return on pension assets over short periods does not reflect the actual effectiveness of their management. This is because, over a short period, income from financial instruments and other transactions is not always able to offset fluctuations in securities prices and exchange rates. Therefore, it is advisable to objectively evaluate investment results over a period of at least one year. Thus, a positive real return (exceeding cumulative inflation) on pension savings is ensured in the medium and long term. Thus, the cumulative investment return since the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 as of October 1, 2025, was 1,063.15%, with inflation for the entire period at 920.56%. As of October 1, 2025, net investment income accumulated since 2014 (following the consolidation of pension assets into the UAPF) amounted to 13.62 trillion tenge. Taking into account payments made, its share of the total pension savings of contributors (beneficiaries) is 42.8%, demonstrating the significant role of investment activity in the structure of citizens' savings. We would also like to remind you that Kazakhstan has a unique guarantee for the safety of compulsory pension contributions, taking into account the inflation rate. In the event of a decrease in returns in a particular period, affecting the contributor's accumulated returns upon the entitlement to benefits, compensation for the difference is guaranteed by the state.The entire system of investment management and accounting of 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.  UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits. The Fund also carries out accounting of target assets and target requirements, accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, payments of TS to their recipients in bank accounts, accounting for returns of TS in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the National Fund for Children program (More details at www.enpf.kz) Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-altai/press/news/details/1099788?lang=kk

     The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan has reported that since the introduction of the digital services tax, foreign internet companies have paid a total of 118.4 billion tenge to Kazakhstan’s budget.       What Is the “Google Tax”      Since January 1, 2022, Kazakhstan has implemented a taxation mechanism for foreign companies that provide electronic services or sell goods via the internet to users in Kazakhstan. This applies to global online platforms operating directly with consumers under the B2C model. These companies are required to register in Kazakhstan and pay value-added tax (VAT) at the rate of 12%. This measure helps ensure fair competition between domestic and foreign providers of digital services.      Who Has Already Registered      To date, 118 foreign non-resident companies have registered in Kazakhstan, including some of the world's largest platforms.      In 2025, 20 more companies joined them, including:com – an international platform for chess enthusiasts;OpenAI, L.L.C. – developer of the ChatGPT service;Canva Pty Ltd. – an online design platform;Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited – a division of Microsoft;Canyon Bicycles GmbH – a manufacturer of professional bicycles.      Contribution to the Economy      Since the introduction of the tax, foreign digital companies have paid a total of 118.4 billion tenge, of which 48.6 billion tenge was collected in 2025 alone. This is 20 billion tenge more than in the same period last year.      Top VAT payers in 2025:Valve Corporation – 8.6 billion ₸;Apple – 8 billion₸;Temu – 6.2 billion ₸.     International Practice      Similar digital services taxes are already in place in most developed countries:EU — unified e-VAT system;United Kingdom, India, Canada — specific digital service taxes;Australia, Japan, Singapore — simplified online registration for foreign companies.      Kazakhstan's model fully complies with OECD guidelines and global best practices.      Regional ComparisonUzbekistan – has levied 12% VAT on foreign digital service providers since 2020;Kyrgyzstan – introduced a similar regime in 2022;Russia – introduced 18% VAT on digital services of non-residents in 2024.      Thus, countries across the region are actively adapting their tax systems to the realities of the digital economy, supporting tax fairness and protecting national interests.      What This Means for Kazakhstan      The introduction of the “Digital VAT” has allowed Kazakhstan to position itself among countries effectively regulating the digital sphere.      This initiative has boosted budget revenues, improved transparency of foreign companies’ activities, and leveled the playing field for Kazakhstani IT enterprises.      The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan will continue to modernize digital tax administration tools in the interest of Kazakhstan’s economy and its future. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-akmola/press/news/details/1100159?lang=kk
