Kazakhstan Introduces a Registry of Persons Associated with Economic Offences

Starting May 19, 2026, Kazakhstan will implement rules governing the registry of individuals and legal entities associated with economic offences. The rules were approved by Order No. 9 of May 5, 2026, signed by the Chairman of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Financial Monitoring.

The registry will include individuals and legal entities against whom a court conviction for an economic criminal offence has entered into legal force.

For individuals, the registry will contain their full name, date of birth, the relevant article of the Criminal Code of Kazakhstan, and the pre-trial investigation authority. For legal entities, it will include the company name and Business Identification Number (BIN). In cases involving pyramid schemes, the name of the scheme will also be published.

A person or entity will be removed from the registry upon the expungement or removal of a criminal record, the death or legal incapacity of an individual, or the liquidation of a legal entity by a court decision.

The registry will be maintained by the responsible подразделение of the Economic Investigations Service. It will be published on the agency's official website and updated quarterly.
