“National Fund for Children”: what is it and how to receive the payment? 23.09.2026
In his 2022 address, the Head of State put forward the idea of creating a program for the fair distribution of national wealth, one of the implementation directions of which is the “National Fund for Children” program. Under this project, citizens of Kazakhstan from birth until they reach the age of majority will receive funds annually starting in 2024, based on 50% of the average investment income of the National Fund. As part of this initiative, children under 18 will receive 50 percent of the investment income of the National Fund of Kazakhstan annually. In 2026, each child was credited with USD 130.71. For children who have been participating in the program for three years, the total amount of savings, taking into account the investment income received, amounted to USD 370.56. According to the UAPF, as of September 1, 2026, payments of targeted savings for improving housing conditions and paying for education amounted to USD 76142.45 thousand (365,967 recipients), including: - for the improvement of housing conditions -USD 50 433.4 thousand (241 284 recipients); - for education -USD 25709.05 thousand. (124,683 recipients). When can these funds be used? Upon reaching the age of 18, the savings will be transferred to individual accounts at the UAPF, and young people have the right to use them for: • improving housing conditions only in the Republic of Kazakhstan. • paying for education (both in the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad). The accumulated amount from the UAPF account can be transferred to the chosen purpose through authorized operators – Otbasy Bank and Halyk Bank. You can check information about whether a child has participated in the program on the website kids.enpf.kz using the child’s IIN, in the personal account on the egov.kz portal, in the Halyk and Kaspi.kz apps. If the targeted savings are not claimed within 10 years after the child reaches the age of majority, they are credited to their individual pension account. Accruals are terminated: • in the event of death; • upon the entry into force of a court decision declaring a project participant dead; • in the event of loss of citizenship. In the event of death, heirs may apply to receive targeted savings from the Unified National Pension Fund in accordance with the procedure established by law. Using National Fund resources to support the younger generation of Kazakhstani citizens is a strategic decision aimed at the sustainable development of the country. The “National Fund for Children” program is an investment in the future of our country!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1296878?lang=ru
The Ministry of Finance is introducing a unified digital accounting system for state property on the e-Qazyna platform. 23.09.2026

They cover the accounting of state and quasi‑state organizations, electronic tenders, privatization, leasing and trust management of state property, monitoring of state property, and other processes.One of the key tasks is to transition from a fragmented system for tracking state assets to a unified digital system based on e-Qazyna.kz. The implementation of this initiative is included in the roadmap until 2029.Within the framework of this work, digital profiles of state property objects and management entities are being created. They will make it possible to track the life cycle of assets, use up‑to‑date photographs and geographical coordinates of the objects, and, in the future, data from space monitoring.A separate area is related to the digitalization of accounting for the state and quasi‑state sectors. It is planned to introduce cloud accounting, integrate e‑Qazyna.kz with the “e‑Minfin” system, and automate the intra‑corporate accounting of property of entities in the quasi‑state sector.The digitalization of accounting for national and strategic resources is ongoing. In the future, it is planned to create a unified digital database of the State Register, which will include information about land and water resources, the forest fund, groundwater, hydrocarbon deposits, and solid minerals.The next stage in the system’s development will be the introduction of artificial intelligence and Big Data technologies. Their use will make it possible to apply predictive analytics to forecast the wear and tear of assets, identify signs of inefficient use of property, and plan maintenance and modernization costs for state assets more accurately.Of the 79 functions of the State Property and Privatization Committee, 36 have the potential for digitalization. To date, 26 of them, or 72%, have been automated. In the third quarter of 2026, a pilot automation of another eight functions is planned, including electronic voting in the management bodies of joint‑stock companies and partnerships, as well as the approval of the charters and balance sheets of state‑owned enterprises.The digital profile of the balance holder will also be implemented in stages. In 2026, it will include buildings and structures; in 2027, land plots; and in 2028–2029, transport, equipment, and other types of assets.The development of e-Qazyna.kz is aimed at creating a unified digital ecosystem for managing state property. This will make it possible to improve the efficiency of using state assets, increase revenues from their use, and optimize maintenance costs.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/minfin/press/news/details/1296866?lang=ru

The Republic Of Kazakhstan successfully completes second issuance of sovereign panda bonds 07.09.2026
Today, September 7 of this year, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan successfully completed its second issuance of sovereign Panda bonds on the Chinese stock market, in a total volume of RMB 6.6 billion. The Panda bonds were placed in two tranches: a 3-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.82% per annum in the amount of RMB 5 billion, and a 5-year tranche at a coupon rate of 1.95% per annum in the amount of RMB 1.6 billion.Kazakhstan has once again secured financing in the Chinese market on terms comparable to those available to countries with higher "A" category credit ratings. The strong investor interest reflects a positive assessment of the economic and structural reforms being pursued in Kazakhstan, aimed at diversifying and strengthening the resilience of the economy.The issuance follows the upgrade of Kazakhstan's sovereign credit rating by S&P from "BBB-" to "BBB" with a "Stable" outlook, reflecting sustainable growth prospects and a low level of government debt, which stands at 20.9% of GDP. External government debt stands at 4.5% of GDP, one of the lowest levels in the world.The placement took place against the background of further strengthening of a comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China. The partnership has acquired an unprecedentedly high level, covering almost all key areas - from trade and investment to energy, transport, industrial cooperation and digitalization. Deepening cooperation in the capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The placement took place against the backdrop of the further strengthening of the comprehensive strategic partnership between Kazakhstan and China.

The deepening of cooperation in capital markets, including through the entry of Kazakhstani issuers into the Chinese market, serves as a practical reflection of this course.The steady expansion of Kazakhstan's presence in international capital markets contributes to broadening funding sources, diversifying the debt portfolio, and building sustainable access to a diverse range of investors. The Ministry of Finance will continue to pursue a balanced approach to sovereign borrowing, taking into account market conditions and the objectives of effective public debt management. This placement of three-year and five-year tranches further contributes to the development of Kazakhstan's sovereign yield curve in Chinese renminbi and establishes a benchmark for future issuances by Kazakhstani quasi-sovereign and corporate issuers.China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) acted as Lead Global Coordinator for the issuance. China Construction Bank Limited (CCB), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited (ICBC), The Export-Import Bank of China, and Bank of China Limited (BOC) served as Joint Lead Managers.
