Pensions and benefits to be indexed in Kazakhstan: how much money will come from the budget

Pensions and social payments in Kazakhstan will be indexed starting next year. This was announced at a briefing in the Kurultai by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin. The report is based on information from Tengrinews.kz correspondents.

Answering journalists' questions, Zhumangarin said an additional 739 billion tenge has been allocated for indexing payments. Most of this sum is intended for pensions.

"Indexation of social payments and benefits is mandatory," the minister said. Tengrinews had previously reported that pensions from 1 January 2027 are planned to rise by 8.5 percent, and that the minimum total pension, according to calculations, will be 113,541 tenge.
