Kazakhstan to monitor large foreign exchange transactions

Kazakhstan’s State Revenue Committee will begin monitoring foreign exchange transactions exceeding $50,000 as part of broader measures to curb illegal capital outflow, according to a draft order released by the Kazakh Finance Ministry.

According to the ministry, the measure is aimed at combating the illegal outflow of assets from Kazakhstan.

"Rules will be established for interaction between the state revenue authorities and the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan regarding the provision of information on foreign exchange transactions exceeding $50,000, including non-goods transactions, income of non-residents, and operations of participants of the Astana International Financial Centre," the document says.

The document has been published in the Open Online Legal Database for public discussion until October 28, 2025.
