  • —AI will block inefficient spending across all stages of the budget cycle
  • —Smart Data Finance cross-checks 80 data sources on citizens' assets
  • —Health insurance antifraud prevented 23.4 billion tenge in losses
  • —Digital tenge tracks public funds at the level of individual transactions
