According to official information, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Kyrgyzstan shows steady growth. What factors contribute to this positive trend?

Economic Growth

From January to November 2025, the country's GDP increased to 1 trillion 628.6 billion soms, which is a growth of 10.2% compared to the same period last year. Compared to October, the growth was 0.2%.

The largest price increase is observed in tariffs for services to the population — by 9.1%. Prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages rose by 8.9%, while alcoholic products and tobacco goods increased by 7.9%. The maximum price increase, as in October, is recorded in Osh — by 10.7%.

Decline in Trade Turnover

From January to October, Kyrgyzstan's trade turnover amounted to $12 billion 803.5 million, which is a decrease of 10.6%. The main reason for this was a reduction in export volumes, which fell by 38.2%.

According to the Ministry of Economy, the decline in exports is related to a decrease in gold shipments abroad.

Additionally, the dynamics of exports were negatively affected by a decrease in demand from key trading partners, such as the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

There was also a noted reduction in the export of investment goods, including machinery and equipment, which significantly impacted the overall export volumes. Temporary restrictions on the export of certain types of raw materials also affected the situation.

Imports of goods also decreased, which is related to a reduction in supplies of a wide range of goods from third countries, including cars and mechanical equipment.

Kyrgyzstan's mutual trade with the EAEU states amounted to $4.5 billion (+1.1%), with exports decreasing to $0.9 billion (-36.1%), while imports, on the contrary, increased by 19.2%, reaching $3.6 billion.
