The National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK) has announced the latest round of payments under the "National Fund for Children" program. In 2025, $129.38 was credited to each child's account in the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund (UAPF). The total amount allocated this year reached $888.8 million, and the number of participants in the program has grown to 6,921,035 children, DKnews.kz reports.
What is the "National Fund for Children" Program?
Launched in 2024, this program aims to secure the financial future of Kazakhstan's children. The core idea is to allocate part of the investment income from the National Fund to the savings accounts of all citizens under 18 years old.
The first payments were made in 2024, with $100.52 allocated to each child. Thus, by the second year of the program, each participant has accumulated a total of $232.94.
These funds represent a commitment from the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan to its underage citizens. The money remains in the National Fund’s investment portfolio until the child reaches the age of 18, generating additional income.
How Are Annual Payments Calculated?
The amount of annual payments depends on the volume of foreign currency assets in the National Fund and its long-term investment income. According to the program’s mechanism, 50% of the National Fund's investment income is distributed among children each year.
How the Accumulation Works:
✅ The total amount of payments is expected to grow annually.
✅ Allocated funds continue to be invested.
✅ Once a child turns 18, they will have full access to their accumulated funds.
How to Check Payments in 2025?
Starting January 31, 2025, information about payments will be available through the eGov mobile application and on the kids.enpf.kz website. Parents and children will be able to monitor their accounts via these platforms.
Why is This Program Important for Kazakhstan’s Future?
The "National Fund for Children" is an investment in the country's future. The program provides financial support to every child, helping to build a financial foundation for their adult life.
Accumulated funds can be used for education, starting a business, or other significant needs. Additionally, if the National Fund continues to generate stable investment returns, the amount of future payments will increase.
Summary:
🔹 In 2025, each child received $129.38.
🔹 Over two years, the total accumulated per child has reached $232.94.
🔹 Payment information can be checked on kids.enpf.kz and the eGov mobile app.
🔹 Funds remain in the National Fund’s investment portfolio until the child turns 18, generating additional income.
The program continues to develop, and its success depends on Kazakhstan’s economic stability and the effective management of the National Fund.
