Tengrinews.kz – The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has announced the latest data on average pension payments in Kazakhstan.
Since the beginning of the year, 3.158 trillion tenge has been paid from the national budget, including 1.022 trillion for the basic pension and 2.136 trillion for the solidary pension.
As of October 1, 2025, the country’s 2.51 million pensioners receive an average total pension of 142,810 tenge, comprising 95,249 tenge in solidary payments and 47,561 tenge in basic pension.
For comparison, on September 1, the average was 142,894 tenge, showing a slight decline.
Earlier, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev criticized the low level of pension savings in his September 8 address and instructed the government to reform the pension system.
In mid-October, the Ministry of Labor held an expert council meeting to discuss potential reforms, focusing on:
- The ratio between solidary and accumulative components;
- New methods for calculating the basic pension;
- Adequacy of contribution rates;
- The impact of early withdrawals from the ENPF;
- More effective management of pension assets and inclusion of self-employed citizens in the accumulative system.
