By what criteria did Kazakhstan surpass other countries?The Mercer Institute, together with the CFA, published the annual Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index (MCGPI), according to which the pension system of Kazakhstan took the 24th position. The international ranking of 2024, which represents a comprehensive study of pension systems, included 48 countries of the world. The Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index assessed systems based on three sub-indices: “Adequacy”, “Sustainability” and “Integrity”, which include more than 50 indicators. To conduct a full and objective assessment of pension systems based on these indicators, information from open international sources was used, including data from the OECD, the World Bank, the International Labor Organization, the research and analytical division of the Economist Group, etc.Kazakhstan scored 64.0 points and received a rating of “C+”, ahead of the United States, Spain, Japan, South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia and other countries.The final score was calculated by summing up the sub-index assessment results weighted by specific weight:8 points for the “Adequacy” sub-index (40% specific weight: Kazakhstan is ahead of, for example, Malaysia, South Korea, Indonesia, South Africa);1 points for the “Sustainability” sub-index (35% specific weight: Kazakhstan’s index exceeds the indicators of Switzerland, Chile, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, Norway, France, Great Britain, the USA and many other countries);4 points for the “Integrity” sub-index (25% specific weight: Kazakhstan’s indicator is higher than that of Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, the USA, China and other countries).As can be seen from the figures provided, the sub-indices of sustainability (8th position in the overall rating) and integrity (16th position) of Kazakhstan are rated quite highly. The most vulnerable position is that of the republic's pension system, which needs to be strengthened - according to the adequacy sub-index (41 position out of 47).Based on the results of the study, the Mercer CFA Institute provided recommendations for increasing the pension adequacy indicator and further improving the Kazakhstan pension system:increasing the minimum level of support for the poorest elderly/pensioners;encouraging households to increase their level of pension savings;reducing early withdrawals of savings by restricting access to pension savings;increasing the level of labor force participation of older people as life expectancy increases;introducing a requirement to reflect projected pension payments in the annual statements of pension system participants.The Global Pension Index notes that it is necessary to improve pension systems given the ongoing trends towards declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. As noted at the World Economic Forum: "For the first time in human history, there are more people aged 65 and over than children aged 5 and under."Let us recall that in 2023, the pension system of Kazakhstan was included for the first time in the annual ranking - the Global Pension Index of the Mercer CFA Institute, immediately taking 20th place and scoring 64.9 points. According to the results of the 2024 research, Kazakhstan took the position of the "golden mean", and the first place in the list was retained by the pension system of the Netherlands, scoring 84.8 points. It should be noted that in the Netherlands, by 2028, a complete transition of all pension plans to the funded system (DC) is planned. The Index highlights that pension systems around the world are increasingly moving away from defined benefit (DB) plans and towards defined contribution (DC) systems.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).

The main goal of the draft new Water Code is to achieve and maintain a safe level of water use, which allows developing the economy, improving the living conditions of citizens and preserving the environment.The new Water Code focuses on adaptation to climate change and the introduction of water conservation principles.The document more carefully regulates the powers of state and local executive bodies, as well as local representative bodies, to improve coordination in water resources management.The National Water Resources Information System is designed to ensure monitoring and recording of data on the state of water bodies.New mechanisms for planning the protection and use of water resources will allow taking into account the peculiarities of each region.Special attention is paid to the protection of small reservoirs and wetlands.The concept of "ecological runoff" is introduced – the minimum allowable water level for maintaining ecosystems of water bodies, which protects them from drying out and other negative consequences.The issues of water supply and sanitation in settlements, as well as the safety of hydraulic structures are included.Strict water use standards are established for agriculture and industry.Measures for the protection of water bodies are being significantly expanded, and the regulation of water use is being improved.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/water/press/news/details/883903

More than 1,300 units of special equipment and over 2,500 road workers have started clearing snow from the streets in Astana during the day shift. Snow removal work is carried out in shifts around the clock due to heavy rainfall, the official website of the capital's akimat reports.Over the past night from November 14 to November 15, more than 27 thousand cubic meters of snow were removed from the capital, which is the volume of 2,136 thousand heavy trucks.Since the beginning of the winter period, over 267 thousand cubic meters of snow have been delivered to snow ranges by more than 21 thousand flights.First of all, according to the rules, areas with very heavy traffic are cleared so that there is no congestion on the roads. Also, areas with medium intensity are being removed from snow — squares, forecourts, sidewalks, access roads to social facilities, etc.Cleaning on central streets, passenger transport routes, bus stops and sidewalks is also a priority.There are several equipped snow ranges in the city. They are equipped with a system for reading license plates of dump trucks, video surveillance cameras are installed here, lighting is connected.We ask residents and guests of the capital to be careful on the roads, observe safety rules, and refrain from long-distance trips in case of a storm warning.In case of an emergency, call 112.

Within the framework of the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), which is taking place in Baku, Kazakhstan announced the launch of the country's first "green" resort. The project, located in the picturesque Akkol district of Akmola region, aims to create a sustainable tourism infrastructure that meets international environmental standards.One of the first stages of the ambitious project was the launch of the Wyndham Residences Aqkol hotel, which opened its doors to guests in 2023. This is not just a hotel, but an object that takes into account the highest standards of environmental sustainability. During its construction, "green" design and passive construction methods were used, including energy-saving technologies and a water filtration system, which significantly reduces energy consumption and minimizes environmental impact.In addition, the resort actively supports the local economy by purchasing products from farmers in the region, which helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions by reducing transportation costs. This approach also helps to stimulate the growth of small and medium-sized businesses in the area, providing additional income and jobs for local residents.The Wyndham Residences Aqkol Hotel is already participating in the UN Global Initiative for Sustainable Development, which underlines the importance of the project in the international arena. But this is just the beginning: as part of the next stage of the project, a complete transition to renewable energy sources is planned, which will make the resort completely environmentally friendly and reduce its carbon footprint.In addition, the next phase of the project is focused on creating new jobs in the village and actively involving the local population in the development of the resort. This will significantly improve the standard of living in the region and ensure a constant workflow throughout the year, which in turn will lead to an increase in the quality of service.One of the most important aspects of the project is the innovative investment model proposed by the company "TӦRE", which acts as the developer and investor of the resort. Instead of traditional government subsidies, the project assumes a model in which the state will provide a refund through tax revenues from the project within 10 years. This approach increases the responsibility of business to the state and ensures more efficient use of budget funds."An important feature of our projects is the replacement of traditional sources with alternative infrastructure. We propose to change the paradigm of state support. Instead of subsidies, there is an investment model that not only guarantees a refund, but also stimulates economic growth and creates new jobs," said Yerbolat Zhaksylykov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the TӦRE company.The implementation of projects such as the resort in the Akkol district underlines Kazakhstan's desire to become an active player on the world stage in solving climate problems. The creation of an environmentally sustainable infrastructure in tourism is an example of how innovative and environmentally responsible approaches can lead to sustainable development.In turn, the TӦRE company is confident that this project will not only allow the transition to year-round operation of remote tour facilities, but also significantly improve the quality of service due to the constant recruitment of qualified personnel. This, in turn, will create additional tax revenues and will be an important contribution to the development of the country's tourism industry.Thus, the implementation of the first "green" resort in Kazakhstan will be an important step towards the development of environmentally friendly tourism and the country's transition to a "green" economy, demonstrating that sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions are possible even in such a resource-intensive sector as tourism.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/883765

The autumn draft continues in the region, during which a mandatory health check of conscripts is carried out. Qualified specialists from the city and regional medical commissions carefully assess the health status of young people who are subject to military service. Doctors work under the guidance of the regional health department, which provided the recruitment campaign with modern diagnostic equipment.For a more accurate assessment of the health status of each recruit, the regional akimat purchased the latest medical equipment for military enlistment offices. Among the new acquisitions are an ultrasound machine, an ophthalmological device, an ENT harvester and a dermatoscope. This equipment allows doctors to more effectively identify diseases that may become an obstacle to military service.If during the examination there is a need for additional diagnostics, recruits are sent to polyclinics and hospitals in the region for more in-depth examinations.Conscripts undergo a mandatory medical examination, which includes a wide range of tests and examinations. Mandatory procedures include a general blood and urine test, electrocardiography, echocardiography, fluorography, as well as ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity and kidneys. For citizens working in agriculture or having livestock in their personal household, a blood test for brucellosis is carried out.Special attention is paid to information received from medical institutions about the health status of conscripts. Data on chronic diseases are checked, as well as the results of preventive medical examinations.In addition, drug testing and HIV testing are carried out at regional assembly points where military units are enrolled, which provides additional security measures for future military personnel.A medical examination is an important stage in preparing for conscription, and its conduct at a high level helps to strengthen the country's defense capability and preserve the health of future soldiers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe/press/news/details/883752

Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev got acquainted with the construction of water supply and sanitation networks in Zhetysu district during a working detour.Previously, there were no backbone networks in this section. In Soviet times, residents stretched a collective water supply system, and then connected to private networks. Due to the small diameter of the pipes and the growing population, there was a shortage of pressure and, consequently, water. The pipeline, worn out during operation, could not withstand the load, which caused frequent gusts, and intermittent interruptions in water supply.Large-scale construction of new water supply and sanitation networks in Zhetysu district began in March 2023. The total length of engineering networks under the project is 97.75 km: 25.7 km of water supply and 72 km of sewer networks. As of today, the facility is 30% ready. The completion of the work is scheduled for December 2025.The project also provides for the restoration of asphalt pavement on 13 streets along the entire width of the road, work has already been completed on 9 of them: Taimyrskaya, Meshchersky, Shildekhan, February, Ob, Feoktistov, Leonov, Bykovsky, Serikov. Work is underway to restore the 1.5 km long roadway along Burundayskaya and Oktyabrskaya streets. Similar work will be carried out on Logovaya and Ermolova streets.After the completion of the project, about 6 thousand subscribers will be provided with central engineering networks.The head of the city instructed the akim of Zhetysu district to monitor the progress and quality of construction and complete the work on time. Yerbolat Dosayev noted that the implementation of this project is an important step in improving the urban infrastructure and the quality of life of residents of Zhetysu district.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/883532
