Сегодня в Астане состоялась 3-я Генеральная ассамблея Союза тюркских торгово-промышленных палат, объединившая представителей государственных органов, бизнес-сообщества и институтов развития стран Организации тюркских государств (ОТГ).С докладом о торгово-экономическом взаимодействии Казахстана со странами ОТГ выступил вице-министр национальной экономики РК Асан Дарбаев. Он подчеркнул, что Казахстан рассматривает Организацию тюркских государств как стратегическую платформу для углубления экономической интеграции, развития инвестиций, промышленной кооперации и логистических коридоров.«Тюркский регион сегодня обладает значительным экономическим потенциалом. Наша общая задача - раскрыть его в полной мере, создав устойчивые цепочки добавленной стоимости и новые точки роста для бизнеса», - отметил Асан Дарбаев.По его словам, динамика взаимной торговли подтверждает устойчивость и востребованность экономического сотрудничества. По итогам 10 месяцев 2025 года объем товарооборота Казахстана со странами ОТГ составил 10,4 млрд долларов США, что на 10,9% превышает показатель аналогичного периода прошлого года. Экспорт Казахстана вырос на 17,1% и достиг 7,6 млрд долларов США, импорт составил 2,8 млрд долларов США, обеспечив положительное торговое сальдо на уровне 4,8 млрд долларов США.Рост экспорта был обеспечен за счет увеличения поставок меди и медных катодов, сырой нефти, пшеницы, нефтепродуктов, подсолнечного масла, а также продукции металлургии и агропромышленного комплекса. Это свидетельствует не только о сохранении сырьевой составляющей, но и о постепенном расширении номенклатуры товаров с более высокой добавленной стоимостью.Отдельное внимание в выступлении было уделено инвестиционной привлекательности Казахстана. Страна стабильно демонстрирует высокие позиции в международных рейтингах легкости ведения бизнеса, включая исследование Всемирного банка Doing Business и рейтинг Business Ready 2025.В рамках задачи, поставленной Главой государства по удвоению экономики к 2029 году, Правительство ориентируется на привлечение не менее 150 млрд долларов США прямых иностранных инвестиций, а также на увеличение доли инвестиций в основной капитал до 23% ВВП к 2029 году.Для достижения этих целей в стране формируется целостная система поддержки инвестиций.

Who makes decisions in rural areas? The Department of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Civil Service Affairs for Kostanay Region offers a portrait of rural akims – those who work at the level of government closest to the population.In Kostanay Region, the institution of rural akims is represented by 196 akims of rural districts. Their distribution reflects the region's territorial characteristics: the largest number of akims is concentrated in Kostanay District (16), Auliekol and Karabalyk Districts (13 each), and the city of Arkalyk (13). The smallest number is in the city of Lisakovsk (1).The modern portrait of a rural akim is, first and foremost, an experienced manager. Almost 83% of akims are men, and about 17% are women. The average age is 45–46, indicating a balance between professional experience and high performance. However, the age range is quite broad: from 29 to 64 years.The youngest akim (mayor) today is 29 years old – he is the akim of the Karasu rural district in the Amangeldy district. The oldest is 64 years old – the akim of the Urnek rural district in the Karabalyk district, elected in 2022 for a four-year term.However, the law clearly states that reaching retirement age is not grounds for termination of a village akim's powers.Almost 95% of akims have higher education. The most common fields of study are economics and finance (29%), law (29%), and pedagogy (15%). Public administration and management were chosen by 6%, and technical specialties by about 9%.The average length of service for a village akim in public service exceeds 14 years. Almost half of the current akims have been in office for less than three years, indicating a renewal of the administrative corps. At the same time, a stable core has been preserved: 68 akims have held their positions for five years or more, ensuring continuity and stability in governance.Analysis shows that the position of village akim (mayor) rarely serves as a career launchpad. More than 70% of leaders are appointed after the age of 35, and over a third are between the ages of 35 and 45. This confirms that the position of village akim (mayor) is a stage of professional growth that requires maturity, management experience, and authority.More than 60% of akims are natives of the Kostanay region. Their geographic origins within the region are distributed fairly evenly, without being concentrated in any one district. Every third akim works in the district where they were born, allowing for a deeper understanding of local characteristics and social context.At the same time, the principle of personnel mobility is actively applied: in 60% of cases, akims work outside their home district. This approach allows for the flexible redistribution of management personnel and the strengthening of problem areas.The majority of rural akims (84%) have no disciplinary sanctions. When they are held accountable, lenient measures predominate. It's important to note the steady positive trend: over the past three years, the number of akims reviewed by the Ethics Council has more than halved.This profile is complemented by a system of incentives: every fifth rural akim has received state or departmental awards, demonstrating recognition of their contribution to the development of their territories.At the same time, requirements for akim candidates and verification of their compliance with civil service legislation are the responsibility of the authorized body for civil service affairs in accordance with the Law "On Elections in the Republic of Kazakhstan."Head of the Department of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Civil Service Affairs for Kostanay Region, Chairman of the Ethics Council – E.A.

Effective January 1, 2026, the employer's compulsory pension contribution (ECPC) rate increased to 3.5% of employee income (the ECPC rate increases annually in stages: 1.5% in 2024, 2.5% in 2025, 3.5% in 2026, 4.5% in 2027, and 5% in 2028).As a reminder, effective January 1, 2024, all employers began participating in pension savings and transferring employer's compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) to the UAPF for the benefit of their employees. Thus, Kazakhstan's funded system was supplemented with a new component involving employer participation, in line with international practice.The introduction of the ECPC is aimed at providing pension coverage to employees born in 1975 and later, given their lack of or insufficient work experience prior to 1998 to qualify for a solidarity pension. In the future, their combined pension will consist of three components: a basic pension from the state, a funded pension from compulsory pension contributions (CPC), and a notional funded pension (NFC) from employer's compulsory pension contributions (ECPC) from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF).Employers are exempt from paying NFC for the following employees: those born before January 1, 1975, individuals of retirement age, individuals with permanent disabilities of groups 1 and 2, military personnel, and equivalent individuals. The State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan is responsible for monitoring the timeliness and completeness of ECPC payments by employers.It is worth noting that NFC pension benefit payments will be made for life, but they will cease if the beneficiary relocates permanently to another country or changes citizenship. Moreover, if a citizen leaves the country, they will only be able to withdraw the savings stored in their individual account, while the funds paid under the ECPC will remain in the UAPF, as they are not the property of the contributor and are credited to notional pension savings accounts. Accordingly, savings accumulated through the ECPC cannot be inherited by employees, and they are intended for the payment of pensions on a solidarity (distributive) basis. Therefore, ECPCs previously paid for individuals who subsequently lost their Kazakh citizenship or died will be distributed among the remaining participants.As a reminder, experts previously proposed transferring savings through the ECPC to contributors' personal accounts in the UAPF, and also, to ensure equal access to pension savings, making the ECPC available to all employees, regardless of age. These expert proposals are currently under discussion.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/abay/press/news/details/1138127?lang=kk

       Pension benefits from the UAPF will increase by 5 percent for pensioners who have already been receiving benefits for several years, effective January 1, 2026.As a reminder, UAPF benefits are calculated in accordance with the Methodology for Calculating Pension Benefits, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 30, 2023. According to this method, monthly payments to citizens retiring are calculated as follows: in the first year of receiving benefits, the amount of pension savings is multiplied by the pension savings payment rate of 6.5% and divided by 12. In subsequent years, the monthly payment amount is increased by the pension payment indexation rate of 5%.The minimum monthly UAPF benefit is at least 70% of the subsistence minimum (hereinafter referred to as the SM), established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget (in 2026, the SM is 50,851 tenge). The maximum monthly pension benefit from the UAPF is unlimited and depends on the beneficiary's pension savings.The methodology provides for increasing adjustment factors used to calculate the pension benefit amount for the following categories of citizens: individuals with permanent disability groups 1 or 2, as well as individuals who have reached retirement age and for whom compulsory occupational pension contributions have been paid for at least 60 months. For individuals who meet both of the above conditions, the adjustment factor with the highest value is applied.Thus, pension benefits directly depend on the size of pension savings, which are formed through regular pension contributions and accumulated investment income. Payments from the UAPF are made until the savings in the individual pension savings account are depleted. Since individual pension savings are the property of the contributor, they are also inherited in accordance with the general procedure established by civil law.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-kurchatov/press/news/details/1138019?lang=kk
