A new draft of the Constitution has been submitted to the Republic of Kazakhstan as part of the constitutional reform planned for 2026. The document is aimed at modernizing the country's legal system, improving public administration, and creating a legal framework that meets the modern requirements of social development. The new draft Constitution identifies education and science, culture and innovation as the state's main priorities. These areas will serve as the basis for developing human capital and strengthening the country's intellectual potential. In addition, one of the important innovations of the reform is the constitutionalization of the sphere of digitalization. For the first time, norms have been introduced to protect the rights of citizens in the digital environment, and legal mechanisms have been defined for ensuring the security of personal data and the use of modern technologies. In general, the new Constitution is aimed at increasing the mutual responsibility of society and the state, developing the rule of law, and improving the quality of life of citizens.

The draft new Constitution provides for the creation of the People's Council, a high consultative body representing the interests of the people of Kazakhstan. The main task of the People's Council is to strengthen social harmony, strengthen national unity, promote national values, and develop proposals on key areas of domestic policy. The Council also has the right to submit draft laws to the Kurultai and initiate a national referendum. This norm expands the possibilities for the public to participate in the governance of the country and raises public dialogue to a new level.

The updated Constitution defines the unshakable principles and fundamental values directed towards the development of the state. One of them, and unique, is the issue of protecting sovereignty and independence. The new version of the Constitution enshrines the state sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the highest constitutional values. These principles form a solid legal basis for the state's domestic and foreign policy and are aimed at ensuring national security. The Constitution establishes the strengthening of the country's independence, preservation of the integrity of state power, and protection of the constitutional structure as the main tasks of the state. The principle of protecting sovereignty serves to ensure the country's stable development and social harmony, guided by national interests. The 2026 constitutional reform will systematize legal mechanisms aimed at preserving and strengthening the independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, laying a solid foundation for the future development of the state. The updated Constitution will be an important strategic document aimed at protecting the sustainable development, national identity, and state integrity of Kazakhstan as a sovereign state.

The updated version of the Constitution clearly sets out the unshakable principles and values that determine the fundamental directions of the state's development. Among them, the issue of protecting human rights and freedoms was identified as a top priority. The new Constitution recognizes the person, his life, rights and freedoms as the highest value, and this principle is enshrined at the constitutional level. The state considers the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens as one of its main tasks. This strengthens the principles of the rule of law and lays a solid foundation for creating a just and open society. The new version of the Constitution places special emphasis on the protection of personal freedom, honor and dignity of citizens, equality before the law, as well as the observance of legal guarantees. These norms are aimed at protecting the interests of citizens in the practice of law enforcement and increasing the responsibility of state authorities. The 2026 constitutional reform will serve to strengthen mutual trust between society and the authorities, identifying the protection of human rights and freedoms as a key factor in the sustainable development of the state. The updated Constitution will create a solid legal basis for ensuring the rule of law in the country and ensuring the safe and free life of every citizen.

By order of the Head of State, one of the country's most important social projects, "National Fund for Children," has been implemented since January 1, 2024.The program aims to build initial savings for young Kazakhstanis to support their successful start in adult life. These savings can be used to improve their housing conditions and/or pursue an education, or saved for the future as retirement savings.Every year, minor children receive funds from the National Fund in the form of targeted requirements, as well as investment income, into their UAPF accounts. Upon reaching adulthood, the accumulated requirements are transferred to the UAPF as targeted savings in their targeted savings accounts. Based on the results of 2025, 6,918,656 Kazakhstani children received the next payment of 130.71 US dollars per child. As a reminder, 50% of the National Fund's investment income is distributed equally annually among all children who are citizens of Kazakhstan.

For children participating in the program for the second year, the additional income over the past year totaled $3.84.As a result, the total amount of all accumulated target requirements (including the additional investment income annually accrued) for a child participating in the program:- The third year was $370.56;- the second year was $263.93;- the first year was $130.71. The accumulated amount of target requirements, taking into account investment income per participant      (in US dollars)The year from which the child is a Participant of the target requirementsYear of accrual of target requirements (TR)and investment income on target requirements (II on TR)Accumulated amount per participant202420252026TRII on TRTRII on TRTR2023100.523.04129.386.91130.71370.562024хх129.383.84130.71263.932025хххх130.71130.71 As a reminder, children under 18 receive annual payments from the National Fund as targeted benefits, which are recorded in their accounts opened with the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund. According to the law, the amounts accrued to children remain part of the National Fund's assets and continue to be invested. Thanks to continued investment, each child's target requirements amount increases annually through the investment income received. Since the program's inception, the total amount of payments to all children from the National Fund has reached approximately $2.5 billion.In 2026, 356,613 Kazakhstani citizens will turn 18 and will be eligible to use their targeted savings.As a reminder, in the year children reach adulthood, their target requirements become target savings and are automatically credited in US dollars to their target savings accounts in the UAPF at the beginning of the year. From the date they reach their 18th birthday, they have the right to independently use their target savings to improve their housing conditions and/or pursue an education, or to save them for the future as retirement savings.
