“In the context of the current geopolitical tensions, the situation in the fuel market is under control and is not currently having a negative impact on domestic prices in Kyrgyzstan. Duty-free supplies to the country are being carried out under an intergovernmental agreement between the ministries of energy of Kyrgyzstan and Russia, which ensures the stability of supplies and protects the domestic market from external risks. The antimonopoly service is conducting constant monitoring of the price situation,” the agency reported.
As a result of the meeting, oil traders were recommended to monitor prices and maintain sufficient fuel reserves to avoid shortages in the domestic market.
Price Changes
It should be noted that the majority of fuel in Kyrgyzstan is imported—over 80% of gasoline and diesel comes from Russia and Kazakhstan. This leads to domestic prices being heavily dependent on the situation in external markets.
In 2025, there was an increase in fuel prices: gasoline rose by about 15%, and diesel by more than 11%. The main reasons were repair work at oil refineries in Russia, geopolitical instability, and increased demand for fuel.
However, at the beginning of 2026, a slight decrease in prices was recorded.
According to the National Statistical Committee, in January, the price of AI-92 gasoline decreased to 74 soms per liter, AI-95 to about 79 soms, and diesel to 78-79 soms. The decrease was about 2-3 soms per liter and was related to the adjustment of wholesale prices and seasonal demand decline.

“We would prefer to give up the car and switch to public transport, but there are problems with that too. There are constant crowds at the bus stops, the buses are overcrowded, and during rush hour it's impossible to get away. So, while we are taking the kids to school and going to work ourselves, a lot of money goes into refueling the car. But there are no alternatives,” they share their concerns.

Currently, authorities and oil traders confirm that fuel supplies to Kyrgyzstan are proceeding as scheduled, and fuel reserves are approximately two months.
Future price changes will depend on the market situation and fuel prices at Russian oil refineries, which, in turn, have a significant impact on prices in Kyrgyzstan.
