Traffic fines will increase in 2027 – the amounts are known

Tengrinews.kz — Traffic fines in Kazakhstan are set to increase in 2027. This is due to the expected rise in the monthly calculation index (MCI), as outlined in the draft national budget for 2027–2029.
MCI and fines to increase
The monthly calculation index (MCI) is an amount set by the state each year and used to calculate fines, taxes, benefits and other payments.
The draft budget for 2027 proposes setting the MCI at 4,693 tenge. It currently stands at 4,325 tenge. As a result, amounts tied to the MCI, including traffic fines, will also increase.
However, it is important to note that the proposed MCI amount is not final. The figure is currently part of a draft budget that is undergoing public discussion. The document will then be submitted to the Kurultai, where deputies may introduce amendments.
The final budget parameters will be known after the law is adopted and signed by the President.
