Kazakhstan National Fund (NFRK) is a stabilization fund which aims to insulate the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan from price swings of oil, gas and metals. Created in 2000, the Fund is modeled on Norway's Government Petroleum Fund and is derived primarily from corporate income tax, excess profit tax, royalties, VAT and PSA charges and bonuses levied against oil firms and mining and metallurgy firms. Extra revenues are transferred to the NFRK when prices exceed reference prices for oil and some minerals. The money is theoretically available to make up government budget deficits or reduce taxes but is primarily intended for investment overseas, as a way of diversification and hedging against oil price instability. The National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan serves as trustee of the Fund, investing the Fund, including entrusting part of the Fund to external managers selected through competitive bidding, developing and approving investments transactions regulations and monitoring the Fund's assets. The money is controlled by the Managing Council of the Fund, chaired by the President of Kazakhstan, who also selects the board.
