Who manages pension assets?  The investment of pension assets is managed by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and, since 2021, by licensed investment portfolio managers (IPMs) that meet the requirements of the authorized body. The primary objective of this fiduciary management of pension savings is to invest in various financial instruments and generate income. Pension asset managers—both the NBRK and IPMs—maintain their own investment strategies and independently determine the structure of their investment portfolios within the framework of their investment declarations.The current IPM registry includes six private companies to which Kazakhstanis can entrust the management of their pension savings: Alatau City Invest JSC, BCC Invest JSC, Centras Securities JSC, Halyk Finance JSC, Halyk Global Markets JSC, and Tansar Capital JSC. (Note: Halyk Global Markets JSC has notified the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund [UAPF] of the termination of its fiduciary management agreement effective 2027; consequently, as of January 1, 2026, the Fund is no longer accepting applications to transfer pension savings to this company.)Information regarding IPMs and their investment declarations can be found on the website www.enpf.kz under the "Services" section—specifically the "Registry of Investment Portfolio Managers"—as well as on the online platform invest.enpf.kz. Legislative amendments provide for the possibility of transferring up to 100% of pension savings—accumulated through compulsory pension contributions and compulsory occupational pension contributions—to an investment portfolio manager (IPM) for management. Who is eligible for this, and how does the mechanism work? All UAPF contributors will have the option to transfer up to 100% of their accumulated savings to private investment portfolio managers (IPMs) for management. These provisions came into effect on September 7, 2026.Information regarding IPMs and their investment declarations is available on the website www.enpf.kz under the "Services" – "Register of Investment Portfolio Managers" section, as well as via the online platform invest.enpf.kz.In the near future, a single IPM will be able to offer contributors up to three types of investment portfolios (conservative, moderate, and aggressive), differing in terms of risk level, expected return, and investment horizon.The procedure for structuring investment portfolios of pension assets will be determined by the authorized body responsible for the regulation, control, and supervision of the financial market and financial organizations. Is it possible to distribute savings among several management companies? Contributors may select one or more Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs). To enhance public awareness, the UAPF has launched a unified online information platform: invest.enpf.kz. This modern digital resource enables contributors to compare data on pension asset portfolios managed by various entities—specifically the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and IPMs—all in one place. Contributors gain access to tools for independently evaluating investment portfolios and selecting a manager and investment strategy tailored to their specific goals and expectations. Furthermore, the invest.enpf.kz platform allows contributors not only to review IPM investment declarations and analyze financial performance but also to access information regarding any administrative measures, sanctions, or enforcement actions taken against an IPM by the regulator (the ARDFM). How the transfer of savings from the UAPF to an asset management company takes place? To transfer pension savings to trust management, an account holder must select an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) and then submit an application using the prescribed form. This can be done via the personal account area on the enpf.kz website or the invest.enpf.kz online platform using an electronic digital signature, or at any UAPF branch.Within the personal account area, the account holder can, among other things:• check the amount available for transfer to, or return from, an IPM or the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan (NBRK);• review the terms and conditions for submitting an application to select (or change) an IPM or to return pension savings currently under IPM management to NBRK management;• submit an application to select (or change) an IPM or to return funds to the NBRK, and track the application's status;• access other available pension services. The status of an application to transfer pension savings to trust management can be tracked in the personal account area on the website or via the UAPF mobile app. The processes for submitting applications for transfer to an IPM and their subsequent processing by the UAPF are fully automated. The UAPF transfers pension assets to IPM trust management within the timeframes established by regulatory legal acts. However, transferring pension savings from one IPM to another, or returning them to NBRK management, is permitted only after at least one year has elapsed since the initial transfer.            Where can contributors find complete information on pension asset management and track the performance of management companies?  The UAPF serves as the central record-keeping and information hub for all contributors and acts as the operator of their individual pension savings accounts, regardless of which entity manages the assets (the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and/or an Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) selected by the contributor).The UAPF provides accessible services related to pension asset management, offering 24/7 access to statements that fully reflect citizens' accumulated savings and earned investment income via the personal account section of the enpf.kz website or the UAPF mobile app.Information regarding the investment activities of each manager is continuously updated on the enpf.kz website under the "Statistics and Analytics" section—specifically, "Investment Management of Pension Assets."Additionally, a dedicated online platform (invest.enpf.kz) operates for UAPF contributors; this modern digital resource enables users to compare the asset management performance of all managers (the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and IPMs). Invest.enpf.kz provides access to return-on-investment data, allows for the comparison of asset managers and their portfolios over selected timeframes, and facilitates informed investment decision-making.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-rudnyi-kalasy-akimat/press/news/details/1305378?lang=ru

Between February 1, 2024, and September 1, 2026, a total of 365,553 citizens received targeted savings (TS) payouts under the National Fund for Children program, amounting to approximately US$76.11 million.From the beginning of 2026 through September 1, 170,156 citizens received TS payouts totaling US$44.84 million. Of this number, 119,279 Kazakhstanis received over US$31.00 million for housing improvements, while 50,877 received US$13.83 million for education expenses.The funds were transferred to authorized operators for subsequent crediting to the applicants' bank accounts. Recipients have the right to use either the full amount or a portion of it. Any unclaimed funds remain in the targeted savings account (TSA) for 10 years. After this period, the unused balance is transferred to the beneficiary's individual pension savings account, where it is recorded as voluntary pension contributions.The most popular option for improving housing conditions was topping up housing construction savings accounts for further accumulation: payments totaling US$30.51 million were made to 117,712 recipients. Additionally, US$183.65 thousand was paid to 788 young Kazakhstanis for down payments on mortgage loans to purchase homes, while US$102.17 thousand was paid to 437 Kazakhstanis for the outright purchase of housing via civil-law transactions (final settlement).Regarding the use of targeted savings for education, the largest share of funds was allocated to pay for educational services provided by institutions within the Republic of Kazakhstan—either in installments (per academic period or school year) or as a single lump-sum payment (covering the entire course of study); 47,584 citizens received a total of US$12.96 million under this category.The following services were also in demand: topping up educational savings accounts under the relevant agreements—funds totaling US$587.56 thousand were transferred to 2,309 recipients; additionally, US$220.44 thousand was disbursed to 861 citizens to cover educational services provided by foreign educational institutions, either in installments (per academic period or academic year) or as a lump-sum payment (for the entire duration of study).  It should be noted that the accrual of targeted requirements ceases upon the death of a participant or the entry into legal force of a court decision declaring them deceased. To claim targeted entitlements /TS following the death of a participant or recipient, heirs may apply to the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF) in accordance with the procedure established by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.As of September 1, 2026, payments totaling 74.46 thousand US dollars have been made to heirs, with 226 citizens receiving the funds.Detailed information on TS payouts for housing improvement and/or education expenses, broken down by authorized operators and regions, is available on the enpf.kz website.  It is worth noting that, based on the results for 2025, a payment of $130.71 per child was credited to Kazakhstani children; for 2024, the amount was $129.38; and for 2023, it was $100.52.Funds from the National Fund are credited annually to children under the age of 18 in the form of targeted allocations. Under the law, the amounts credited to young Kazakhstanis remain part of the National Fund’s assets and continue to be invested. Thanks to this ongoing investment, the value of each child's targeted requirements grows annually through the generated investment income.As a result, the total accumulated value of all targeted requirements (including the investment income added each year) for a child participating in the program: - - three years, amounted to 370 dollars 56 cents;- two years, amounted to 263 dollars 93 cents;- one year, amounted to 130 dollars 71 cents.  Parents and other legal representatives can verify a child's participation in the program using the child's IIN (Individual Identification Number) via the kids.enpf.kz website, the personal account section of the eGov.kz e-government portal, as well as the eGov Mobile app and the mobile apps of certain second-tier banks. If information regarding the targeted allocations accrued to children for the 2025 reporting year is not displayed, it is necessary to update the documents within the mobile apps by following this path: in the eGov Mobile app: "Digital Documents" – "Family" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals"; in mobile apps of second-tier banks, for example, Kaspi.kz: "Government Services" – "All documents" – "Refresh document list" – "National Fund accruals". The absence of information regarding the accrual of targeted requirements for children who have reached or will reach the age of 18 this year in the legal representative's personal account is due to the fact that these entitlements have acquired "TS" status; consequently, access to information about them is granted directly to the TS recipient (the individual who has reached or will reach the age of 18 in 2026). These individuals must independently access information about their TS via their personal accounts on the UAPF or e-government websites so that, upon turning 18, they can contact an authorized operator to open a US dollar bank account and submit an online application for the TS payout to improve housing conditions and/or pay for education. Currently, the authorized operators are:• Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),• Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan  JSC (for education),• Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). Statistics regarding minors participating in the targeted entitlements program, adult TS recipients, and the use of TS funds for housing and/or education are available on the enpf.kz website. You can review the program terms and obtain instructions and answers to your questions on the kids.enpf.kz website.

President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev addressed the Astana AI Film Festival – the first international competition for films created using artificial intelligence. The President highlighted the unique nature of the event. “The Astana AI Film Festival is a one-of-a-kind project through which proactive, educated, innovative, and creative citizens can showcase their talents. This is a competition of sharp minds and bold initiatives. The modern era is defined by knowledge, science, and innovation. Artificial intelligence has brought about fundamental changes across all sectors of the global economy. In short, technological progress has taken on a truly global scale,” Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stated. President of Kazakhstan described the festival as clear evidence of the rapid development of Kazakhstan’s creative industries. As he noted, the country is taking concrete measures to build a fully-fledged ecosystem in this sector and provide comprehensive support for talented individuals. Kassym-Jomart Tokayev emphasized the necessity of using artificial intelligence responsibly. “Today, as technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, many politicians, scientists, and tech leaders have raised concerns about the growing power of AI and the risks of its uncontrolled use. At the same time, one thing is clear: this tendency or way of things is irreversible. I think no one will argue with this. Throughout history, we have seen how the fire of Prometheus was regarded as a symbol of progress and a source of destructive power. Nuclear energy is one example. Therefore, we need to consider safety with the highest duty and establish common “rules of the game” for the responsible development and use of Artificial Intelligence for the secured future of the younger generation. At the same time, we must do everything we can to unlock the enormous creative potential of future tech. That is the main idea behind the AI Film Festival,” the President said. In concluding his remarks, President of Kazakhstan highlighted the festival's international scope. According to the data, the competition received over 8,000 entries from 125 countries, including the USA, India, China, South Korea, the UK, Indonesia, Japan, Brazil, and France.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-rabat/press/news/details/1305332?lang=ru

On 1–2 October 2026, the VII Congress of the Association of Asian Constitutional Courts and Equivalent Institutions (AACC) was held in Samarkand under the theme “Constitutional Justice in the Context of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence.”The international forum brought together the heads of constitutional and supreme courts from more than 20 countries, representatives of international organizations, and leading legal experts.The Kazakhstan delegation was headed by Bakyt Nurmukhanov, Deputy Chairperson of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan.During the first plenary session, dedicated to the digitalization of constitutional justice, he presented Kazakhstan’s experience and approaches to the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence in the field of constitutional review. Bakyt Nurmukhanov spoke about the practical application of digital solutions in the work of the Constitutional Court, including audio and video recording of court hearings, remote participation of parties to constitutional proceedings, electronic document management, and the “e-Otinish” platform, which enables citizens to submit applications to the Court electronically.“Digitalization of constitutional justice is a strategically important area of development. However, given the special role of a constitutional court as a guarantor of human rights and the stability of the legal order, the introduction of new technologies should be accompanied by the proactive improvement of the legal frameworks governing their use. Artificial intelligence can become an effective tool for improving access to constitutional justice; however, responsibility for decisions taken must remain exclusively with humans. Technology should assist judges and applicants, but should not replace them,” Bakyt Nurmukhanov emphasized.During the Congress, participants discussed the independence of the judiciary in the context of digital transformation, the protection of human rights and the rule of law in the digital environment, the legal limits of the use of artificial intelligence, personal data protection, cybersecurity, and procedural safeguards.The event concluded with the adoption of the Samarkand Declaration, aimed at further improving constitutional justice, strengthening the protection of human rights and the rule of law, and expanding international cooperation among constitutional jurisdiction bodies in the context of digital and technological transformation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mfa-samarkand/press/news/details/1305286?lang=ru
