November 15 – National Currency Day and professional holiday of financiers

The Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan congratulates compatriots on the National Currency Day and on the professional holiday of financial sector workers.

29 years ago, the national currency- tenge, officially entered circulation. Since 1997, this significant date has been celebrated as the National Currency Day and a professional holiday of financiers.

The introduction of the national currency has played an important role in the strengthening and independent development of the independence of our sovereign country. Tenge has become an integral symbol of Kazakhstan's financial independence.

In the XV century, Turkic silver coins had the historical name "dengue" or "tanga". Tenge is the national currency that came to us with independence, got its name from this medieval name.
