Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article explores the legal mechanisms for protecting the rights of financial service consumers in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study employs a combination of scientific methods to achieve its objectives. Comparative legal analysis is used to evaluate the Kazakh legislative framework against international best practices, such as World Bank guidelines. The normative-dogmatic method is applied to interpret existing laws, while a systemic approach assesses the coherence of financial and consumer protection regulations. Additionally, a deductive method identifies general principles of consumer protection, and an inductive approach derives conclusions specific to Kazakhstan’s context. These methods reveal gaps in the current legislation and provide recommendations for its improvement.
