Does the age of the contributor affect the threshold amounts and how is MAT determined according to the adopted Methodology? Minimum adequacy thresholds (MAT) depend on the age of the contributor. The older the contributor and the closer they are to retirement age, the higher the requirements for the future pension benefit, ensuring that after retirement, citizens can receive an income level close to international standards.The MAT is determined using the classic formula for calculating the present value of a future pension benefit. In other words, the new formula determines the minimum amount of savings, i.e., the MAT amount that must already be in the contributor's individual pension account (IPA) to ensure the recipient receives the target pension.The use of the present value of benefits formula is based on international practice for calculating the savings required for lifetime benefits. How has the calculation methodology for Minimum Adequacy Thresholds changed?Changes to the Minimum Adequacy Thresholds (MAT) Calculation Methodology are aimed at increasing the minimum pension savings requirements to ensure the adequacy of future funded pensions and are designed for higher pension benefit levels.Now, MAT amounts are determined for each contributor's age using a standard present value formula based on target future pension benefits. Essentially, the new methodology answers the question: what is the minimum amount that must remain in a pension account today to ensure an adequate level of retirement income in the future?The formula takes into account long-term demographic (national demographic tables) and financial (interest rates and indexation of payments) factors to achieve stability and predictability in future payment amounts for citizens, as well as socioeconomic indicators such as the minimum old-age pension and the minimum wage, determined annually by the law on the national budget.Meanwhile, the MAT calculation no longer takes into account future pension contributions from the time of withdrawal until reaching retirement age. After all, contributions may be incomplete or absent during certain periods due to various life circumstances. This approach reduces the risk that a citizen will receive a low funded pension in the future after using part of their savings. Why has the Methodology for Calculating Minimum Adequacy Thresholds changed?                 Since 2021, UAPF contributors have been granted the right to withdraw a portion of their pension savings early before reaching retirement age for strictly defined alternative purposes, such as improving housing conditions and paying for medical treatment. State authorities developed, and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan subsequently approved, a Methodology for Determining the Minimum Adequacy Threshold for Pension Savings.[1].However, frequent withdrawals of pension savings above the minimum adequacy threshold (MAT) from individual pension savings accounts by contributors reduce the amount of their future pension benefits from the UAPF. Therefore, a decision was made to change the minimum adequacy thresholds. This is due to the need to gradually achieve the adequacy of pension payments in accordance with the recommendations of international organizations. Therefore, the requirements for the amount of pension savings necessary to provide for a future funded pension and to increase the replacement rate of a contributor's labor income through pension benefits at retirement age have been increased.The implementation of the new model is aimed at increasing the sustainability of the pension system and ensuring an adequate level of pension provision for citizens.              Is it still possible to use pension savings for alternative purposes? The ability to use a portion of pension savings for alternative purposes, as provided by law, remains available to contributors whose savings exceed the minimum sufficiency threshold. Pensioners whose pensions constitute at least 40% of their lost income, citizens with a pension annuity agreement, and pensioners with years of service—that is, those categories of beneficiaries who have already secured a certain level of pension benefits—can also continue to access their savings.However, approaches to using pension savings are being refined to address the need to ensure citizens have adequate and stable pension payments in the future. How fair is it to calculate MAT based on future pensions if many citizens do not live to retirement age? The average life expectancy of Kazakhstanis has approached 76 years (in 2025), a record high since the country's independence. An analysis of demographic data from 1991 to the present demonstrates changes in the nation's quality of life and health. For example, in 1991, the average life expectancy was 67.6 years (in 2001 it was 65.6, in 2011 it was 68.98, and in 2021 it was 70.23). Thus, over three and a half decades, the average life expectancy of Kazakhstani citizens has increased by more than 8 years. Increased life expectancy means that Kazakhstanis will enjoy a longer retirement period than previously. Under these circumstances, it is especially important to accumulate sufficient pension savings to maintain a familiar standard of living after retirement. Increasing the thresholds for minimum adequacy of pension savings is aimed at ensuring a more adequate level of future pension and financial stability for a person over a longer period of life after retirement. [1] Government Resolution "On Approval of the Rules for the Implementation of Pension Payments, Lump-sum Pension Benefit Payments for the Purpose of Improving Housing Conditions and (or) Paying for Medical Treatment, Formed from Compulsory Pension Contributions, Compulsory Occupational Pension Contributions from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund, Their Return to the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund, Methodology for Calculating the Amount of Pension Benefits, Methodology for Determining the Replacement Ratio of the Beneficiary's Average Monthly Income with Pension Benefits, Methodology for Determining the Minimum Adequacy Threshold of Pension Savings" Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay/press/news/details/1251397?lang=ru

Сегодня, 1 июля 2026 года, вступила в силу новая Конституция Республики Казахстан, которая закладывает современные механизмы для ускоренного развития регионов. Важным нововведением стало возможность внедрения специальных правовых режимов, включая статус «города ускоренного развития».Первой такой уникальной площадкой и новой точкой экономического роста страны станет город Алатау. Правовую основу для масштабного проекта заложил Конституционный закон, подписанный Главой государства еще 8 мая. Новый статус превращает Алатау в самостоятельную экономическую экосистему со своей институциональной архитектурой, которая будет внедряться поэтапно в течение 12 месяцев. С 1 июля Alatau City Authority преобразуется в полноценный госорган, а стратегическое руководство развитием города перейдет к Совету под прямым председательством Премьер-Министра.Для международных инвесторов в Алатау создают принципиально новую среду. Специальный режим города предусматривает стабильные условия для ведения бизнеса, индивидуальный порядок лицензирования, независимое регулирование по принципу «одного окна» и международные механизмы защиты капитала. На территории города также начнут действовать особые налоговые, таможенные и бюджетные режимы, дополненные возможностью применять лучшие мировые стандарты. Нормативную базу по архитектуре, строительству и надзору при поддержке ведущих международных консалтинговых компаний сформируют уже до конца текущего года.Стратегическое планирование Алатау рассчитано на десятилетия вперед – сейчас готовится 30-летний Долгосрочный план развития, Мастер-план и Стратегия до 2040 года. Сам город станет умным и технологичным: совместно с Республикой Корея на площади 330 гектаров уже проектируется цифровой район K-Smart City, к строительству которого корейские девелоперы приступят в 2027 году. Управление процессами планируют полностью доверить искусственному интеллекту в рамках концепции Alatau AI-Driven City, которая предусматривает создание полноценного цифрового двойника города.Экономический фундамент мегаполиса закладывается опережающими темпами. Действующая дорожная карта уже включает 36 масштабных инфраструктурных проектов. Параллельно сформирован инвестиционный портфель из 53 проектов общим объемом около 2 триллионов тенге, что позволит создать порядка 51 тысячи новых рабочих мест.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1251373?lang=ru

On March 17, 2026, the Head of State announced the implementation of a criminal and administrative amnesty.The Senate of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan has currently approved, at a plenary session, the draft Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Amnesty in Connection with the Adoption of the New Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan," as well as accompanying bills providing for amendments to the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Administrative Offenses and the Law "On Enforcement Proceedings and the Status of Bailiffs."Under the draft law, the administrative amnesty provides for exemption from administrative penalties in the form of fines for the following categories of persons: citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, individual entrepreneurs, private notaries, private bailiffs, lawyers, and legal consultants.However, the amnesty does not apply to legal entities, officials, *kandas* (ethnic Kazakhs repatriating to Kazakhstan), foreign citizens, or stateless persons.Furthermore, the amnesty does not apply to administrative penalties imposed by a court or to offenses that pose a threat to the safety of citizens and the state.For cases handled by state revenue authorities, the amnesty does not apply to administrative offenses provided for by:- Article 275 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO): concealment of objects of taxation and other property required to be reported in tax filings;- Article 277 of the CAO: evasion of payment of accrued (calculated) amounts of taxes and other mandatory budget payments;- Article 278 of the CAO: understatement of amounts of taxes and other mandatory budget payments.The exclusion of these specific offenses from the scope of the amnesty is due to the fact that they involve the concealment of taxable assets and the evasion of tax obligations, thereby causing significant damage to the state economy.It should be noted that the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has already implemented a mechanism of a conditional "clean slate" for micro and small businesses.This mechanism provided for the write-off of penalties and fines, subject to the full payment of the tax debt outstanding as of January 1, 2026.The relevant rules were approved by the Ministry of Finance on February 13, 2026.As a result of the implementation of this mechanism under Part 1 of Article 278 and Part 5 of Article 275 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, fines and penalties have already been written off for micro and small business entities.As of April 9, 2026, following the settlement of principal tax arrears totaling 13 billion tenge by 19,000 micro and small business entities, penalties amounting to 4.4 billion tenge and fines amounting to 4.9 billion tenge have been written off.According to preliminary estimates by the Ministry of Finance, and taking into account the draft law under consideration, the administrative amnesty could affect 2,370 individuals and entities with a total value of 298.4 million tenge; this includes 448 individuals (72.7 million tenge) and 1,930 individual entrepreneurs (225.6 million tenge).Final figures will be determined following the adoption of the law and its official entry into force.    Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-zhetysu/press/news/details/1251091?lang=ru
