What does the structure of pension accumulations of Kazakhstanis look like?
Recently, the most pressing issue among our contributors is the question of the amount of savings.
Many of our fellow citizens are interested in whether they will be able to claim the withdrawal of part of their pension accumulations from the UAPF?
In his Message to the People of Kazakhstan dated September 1, 2020, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K-Zh. Tokayev noted that in 2021, UAPF contributors will be able to use part of their pension savings for the purchase of housing, medical treatment or for transferring them to management of financial companies.
In this regard, on behalf of the Head of State, preparatory work is being carried out for the final adoption by the end of this year of all the necessary regulatory legal acts.
In the meantime, we invite you to take a look at the structure of pension accumulations of our contributors across the country as of September 01, 2020.
So, out of 10,870,610 contributors (beneficiaries) of compulsory pension contributions (CPC) with pension savings in their accounts, 5,615,939 are men and 5,254,671 are women. Their total savings are KZT11,942,813 mln, of which
