According to representatives of the NCA team, for many years there have been problems in the accreditation system that market participants have spoken about: non-transparent procedures, a limited pool of expert assessors, outdated approaches to inspections, and corruption risks."Today, the national accreditation system is undergoing an important stage of transformation. Since the beginning of 2025, systemic changes have begun in the body's work. The first step was an open dialogue with the market. Two major industry forums were held in Almaty and Astana with the participation of over 500 people. According to system representatives, participants discussed the need for a 'reboot' of accreditation, and following the meetings, key problems were identified and possible solutions were proposed." Thus, since 2025, changes aimed at increasing the transparency of procedures and strengthening control have begun to be implemented in the system. As explained by the center, one of the main problems in the organization was the lack of transparency in laboratory accreditation. This concerns technical and testing laboratories that check the quality of products, construction materials, equipment, environmental indicators, and issue official conclusions.To solve this problem, the NCA began implementing photo and video recording during accreditation. Now inspectors must record equipment, premises, and the assessment process itself. Internal procedures and documents of the accreditation system have also been revised."Currently, the transparency and reliability of assessment procedures have been significantly increased, corruption risks have been minimized, the possibility of informal agreements between assessors and accredited entities has been eliminated, and control over the actual availability of equipment and testing conditions has been strengthened," reported the NCA. Photo and video recording began to be applied in areas where mobile measuring instruments are used. In the future, as NCA employees reported, they plan to make this requirement mandatory for all organizations undergoing accreditation.The center also states that it has revised its approach to selecting experts. The NCA claims that previously the same specialists could participate in the work, while the new mechanism involves random selection of experts and updating the registry."Previously, the system had a limited pool of expert assessors, which made it difficult to attract new specialists. To update the expert pool, they began attracting new employees and professional organizations. Additionally, 20 memorandums were signed with international educational and scientific institutions, universities, and industry associations," reported the NCA.For the first time in the history of the accreditation body, the "20 New Assessors" project has been launched, which involves attracting new specialists from various industries. Work is currently underway with 35 candidates. Simultaneously, the NCA implemented random selection of technical experts. According to center representatives, such a mechanism should reduce the risk of bias and eliminate the constant involvement of the same specialists.The organization notes that recently they have adjusted internal documents, implemented checklists for assessment, begun digitizing part of the processes, and developed a unified registry of documents issued by laboratories and certification bodies.Among the changes are laboratory equipment identification via QR codes, remote inspections, and automatic calculation of accreditation costs."One of the problems was the use of the same equipment by several laboratories at once. Sometimes equipment would only physically appear in the laboratory during the inspection. To solve this problem, we implemented an identification system: each device is assigned a unique QR code linked to its serial number. This allows tracking the equipment and eliminating the practice of its use by different laboratories. To date, such identification has already been carried out for 17 entities."Also, according to NCA representatives, remote assessment of laboratories using digital tools is now being implemented. It is assumed that this format will make accreditation procedures more transparent.The center claims that the reforms were agreed upon with the business community, and the necessary legislative amendments have already received government approval. The NCA also notes that the organization has strengthened its presence at the international level. The center is a member of the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation. The National Accreditation Center has received the right to host the APAC General Assembly in 2031 in Astana, which confirms the trust of the international professional community.In the opinion of representatives of the current team, it is these reforms that could have become the reason for resistance from some employees. The center points out that the changes in the company were accompanied by criticism in the information field, but, according to them, such statements do not reflect the position of the majority of employees and market participants.The NCA believes that the ongoing changes should increase the transparency of the system, reduce corruption risks, and establish uniform rules for all participants.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti-ktrm/press/news/details/1213566?lang=kk

The investment income of Kazakhstani citizens is generated both through the management of pension assets by the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK) and by private Investment Portfolio Managers (IPMs).As a result of the NBK's investment activities in managing pension assets derived from Mandatory Pension Contributions (MPC), Mandatory Professional Pension Contributions (MPPC), and Voluntary Pension Contributions (VPC), the amount of accrued investment income for the first 3 months of 2026 amounted to 271.4 billion tenge, with an additional 34.1 billion tenge generated from Mandatory Employer Pension Contributions (MEPC).In turn, as of April 1, 2026, income generated from IPMs investment activities for 2026 amounted to 1.56 billion tenge.It should be noted that asset managers implement a balanced investment policy, investing in various types of financial instruments across currencies, countries, sectors, and issuers. Investment income is generated from various sources: income in the form of returns on securities (as well as interest on deposits and other instruments), and through market and currency revaluation of financial instruments and assets held under external management, etc. Thus, the level of investment income depends on a number of factors: the dynamics of the market value of instruments in the portfolio, fluctuations in exchange rates, the inflation rate, dividend payments, and other conditions. Returns may increase or decrease over different periods, which is reflected in the total amount of contributors' pension savings. The primary reason for the decrease in investment income on pension assets managed by the NBK since the beginning of the current year is the negative currency revaluation of foreign currency assets resulting from the strengthening of the tenge against the US dollar — from 505.53 to 478.77 tenge per US dollar.Despite financial market volatility, positive investment income and real returns on pension savings are ensured in the medium and long term. The cumulative investment return from the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 to April 1, 2026, amounted to 1,184.74%, while inflation for the entire period was 970.03%. As of April 1, 2026, the net investment income earned by the NBK since April 1, 2014 (following the consolidation of pension assets into the UAPF) reached 10.54 trillion tenge. Taking into account the payouts made, its share in the total volume of contributors' (beneficiaries') pension savings stands at 40.7%, which demonstrates the significant role of investment activities in the structure of citizens' savings.It is important to note that the return on pension assets over specific short-term periods is not an indicator of management efficiency, as income in the form of interest on financial instruments and other transactions accrued over a short period does not always offset fluctuations in the value of securities and exchange rates during that same period. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct an objective analysis of investment income over a longer time horizon. It should be noted that contributors have the right to transfer a portion of their pension assets (up to 50% of pension savings derived from mandatory pension contributions and up to 100% of pension savings derived from voluntary pension contributions) to be managed by a private Investment Portfolio Manager (IPM) that meets the regulator's requirements.In comparison with the more conservative management of the NBK, which is aimed at preserving pension assets and ensuring positive long-term returns, the investment declarations of IPMs and the requirements of the regulator provide for broader investment opportunities for IPMs in order to increase the return on pension assets (although this entails higher risks).The entire system of investment management and accounting of pension assets is transparent: every contributor has the opportunity to view their investment income in their personal account on the enpf.kz website or via the mobile application.Information regarding the investment management of UAPF pension assets and the financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are invested is published on the official UAPF website (www.enpf.kz) in the "Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets" section, as well as on the invest.enpf.kz portal  The UAPF was established on August 22, 2013, on the basis of JSC "NPF GNPF". 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. The National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan carries out the asset management of UAPF pension assets. In accordance with pension legislation, the UAPF performs the collection of mandatory pension contributions, mandatory employer pension contributions, mandatory professional pension contributions, and voluntary pension contributions, as well as the crediting and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed from the unclaimed amount of guarantee compensation for a guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory deposit insurance in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Mandatory Guaranteeing of Deposits Placed in Second-Tier Banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", and ensures the execution of pension payments. The Fund also carries out the accounting of target assets and target claims, the accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, the payment of TS to their beneficiaries' bank accounts, and the accounting of TS refunds in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the "National Fund for Children" program.

Under the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, all monetary settlements for selling goods, performing work, and providing services must be conducted using mandatory cash registers (CRM) included in the State Register.At the same time, the legislation establishes a specific list of persons exempt from the requirement to use a CRM. This list includes, in particular, private individuals, lawyers, private bailiffs, second-tier banks, and religious associations, as well as certain categories of organizations and services, such as public transport provided that tickets are issued. State-owned utilities and energy sector organizations are not included in this list; therefore, they are required to use a CRM when conducting monetary settlements.It is essential to clarify that the mandatory requirement to use a CRM applies only to settlements made in cash, by payment cards, or through mobile payments. If a settlement is made via bank transfer (a direct account-to-account transfer through a financial institution), the use of a CRM is not required. In such cases, the bank-issued confirmation or payment order serves as the primary fiscal record, rather than a standard cash register receipt.     The State Revenue Department of EKRSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1213192?lang=kk
