From February 1, 2024, to November 1, 2025, 171,938 applications totaling over $25.11 million have been processed (transferred to authorized operators for crediting to applicants' bank accounts).

Of these:

107,390 applications totaling approximately $15.88 million were processed for housing improvements;

As a reminder, recipients of targeted savings (TS) have the right to use the entire amount or a portion of it. Any unused balance remains in the targeted savings account (TSA).

The most popular sub-purposes for using funds to improve housing conditions were: replenishing a housing construction savings account for further accumulation (104,975 applications completed, totaling $15.55 million); making a down payment for a mortgage loan to purchase a home (816 applications, totaling $112,100); and acquiring a home through civil law transactions (final settlement), totaling 588 applications, totaling $76,150.

The most popular sub-goals for paying for education were: payment for educational services at educational institutions located in the Republic of Kazakhstan, in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (57,996 applications completed, totaling approximately $8.44 million); replenishment of an educational savings deposit under an educational savings deposit agreement (4,636 applications completed, totaling approximately $554,860); and payment for educational services at foreign educational institutions, in installments (for each academic period or academic year) or in full (for the entire term of study) (1,567 applications completed, totaling $201,650).

Detailed information on targeted savings payments for the purpose of improving housing conditions and/or paying for education, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.

As a reminder, under the "National Fund for Children" program, 50% of the investment income from the National Fund of the Republic of Kazakhstan is distributed annually among children of Kazakhstani citizens born in 2006 or later. All recipients of the National Fund were awarded $100.52 in 2023, and $129.38 in 2024. Children who received their first National Fund payments in 2023, with the exception of those born in 2006, were awarded $3.04 in investment income this year. As a result, the target savings for a child born in 2006 are $100.52, and for a child born in 2007, $232.94.

Adult citizens must independently obtain information about their social security contributions through their personal account on the ENPF or e-government websites. They can then contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for social security contributions to improve housing conditions and/or pay for education.
