Based on the results of the first nine months of 2026, state budget revenues, excluding transfers, amounted to 20.2 trillion tenge, or 98.5% of the plan. Compared to the same period last year, revenues increased by 16.3%, or by 2.8 trillion tenge. This was announced by Minister of Finance Madi Takiyev at a government meeting on October 13. “During the reporting period, funding for the state’s social obligations has been secured. The revenues of the republican budget are close to the planned figures,” Madi Takiyev noted. The revenues of the republican budget increased by 2.7 trillion tenge, or by almost 26%. The growth in revenues is due to global prices for export goods, an increase in trade turnover, and changes in tax rates.
By the end of the year, the focus will be on expanding the tax base and improving the quality of administration. State budget expenditures have been completed at 98%, with the funding amounting to 26.2 trillion tenge. Expenditures of the republican budget reached 19.6 trillion tenge, with an execution rate of 99.6%. 5.3 trillion tenge was allocated for pensions and benefits, 4.4 trillion tenge for regional support, and 2 trillion tenge for support of the real sector. Local budget revenues amounted to 6.9 trillion tenge, or 96.1% of the plan.
The shortfall amounted to 278.3 billion tenge. The plan has not been met in nine regions, with the largest deviations recorded in the Atyrau, Pavlodar, and Mangystau regions. Local budget expenditures have been met at 96.3%, with non compliance amounting to 458.4 billion tenge. The minister emphasized the need to take measures to ensure timely and high quality budget execution by the end of the year. During the reporting period, 811.5 billion tenge in VAT was refunded to businesses.
Customs payments amounted to 1.9 trillion tenge, an increase of 706 billion tenge. Work continues on developing border infrastructure and simplifying customs clearance. A special state fund ensures the implementation of 501 projects with a total value of 617.7 billion tenge; 351 facilities have been completed. Funding has been allocated from the Infrastructure Development Fund for 262 projects with a total value of 1.5 trillion tenge, including in the areas of healthcare, water supply, and transport.
The minister noted the need to complete construction and prepare the facilities for operation. The digitalization of the social sector makes it possible to prevent unjustified payments. Thanks to monitoring and anti fraud control at the Social Health Insurance Fund, financial losses amounting to 22.4 billion tenge were prevented over nine months. The Qalqan platform has implemented functionality for paying for 57 types of medical services. 634 schools have been transferred to the digital education financing system. The reconciliation of the student population to identify duplicates and overstatements resulted in savings of 34 billion tenge.
