In the new report by the Eurasian Development Bank, the results of economic growth in partner countries are presented, where Kyrgyzstan stands out against the backdrop of positive dynamics in Central Asia. In 2025, economic growth in this region reached 7%, and Kyrgyzstan continues to lead with double-digit GDP growth at 11.1% due to strong consumer and investment demand.

The economy of Kyrgyzstan has been demonstrating impressive results for the fourth consecutive year. In the current year, GDP continues to grow, increasing by 9% in January 2026, thanks to domestic trade and other services that have made a significant contribution to economic development.

The main driver of growth has been investment in fixed assets, which increased by 17.9%. This creates a sustainable economic dynamic, as confirmed by EDB data.

Investments in infrastructure projects and transport corridors also contribute to the creation of new opportunities for economic growth. Kyrgyzstan is actively modernizing its energy sector and developing its transport network, including the construction of key facilities such as the "Kambar-Ata-1" hydropower plant and the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan highway.

The stable financial situation in the country and the positive dynamics of key economic indicators create an optimistic mood among analysts. The industrial sector is also showing growth, increasing by 10.6% in 2025, which is linked to increased production in the food and mining industries.

However, the textile industry is facing difficulties, demonstrating a decline in production volumes. It is expected that with the introduction of new requirements and support programs, this sector will be able to recover.

Kyrgyzstan is also actively utilizing internal resources for economic development. The country's budget has significantly increased in recent years, made possible by reforms in tax administration and growth in customs and tax revenues.

As a result of last year, the budget was executed with a surplus of 2.5% of GDP, confirming the resilience of the financial system. The main budget expenditures are directed towards the development of key sectors such as energy and agriculture.

Nevertheless, inflation remains a problem, exceeding the projected level and reaching around 9%. To curb it, the National Bank raised the key interest rate to 12%.

The economic situation in Kyrgyzstan remains stable, and EDB analysts predict that by the end of 2026, the country's GDP will grow by 9.3%, allowing it to maintain its status as a regional leader in growth rates.
