To achieve this ambitious goal, significant work needs to be done
Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan intend to increase the volume of mutual trade to 100 million dollars per year in the short term, and to 500 million dollars in the long term. These plans were announced after a meeting between the leaders of the two countries in Islamabad.
The history of relations between Kyrgyzstan and Pakistan has deep roots; however, the current financial indicators of trade turnover remain low. It is forecasted that by the end of 2024, the trade volume will amount to only 16 million dollars.
In the first half of 2025, it is expected that the trade turnover will reach approximately 7.7 million dollars. At the same time, Pakistan mainly exports, while Kyrgyzstan exported goods worth 487 thousand dollars, and imports from Pakistan exceeded 7.2 million dollars.
Nevertheless, Bishkek and Islamabad expressed confidence in their ambitious plans to significantly increase trade volumes. Data from the National Investment Agency confirms the growing interest in investments from Pakistan in Kyrgyzstan over the past five years. In particular, businessmen are interested in the development of gold, copper, granite, and tungsten deposits.
