According to Bakhtiyar Aliyev, the chairman of the Social Fund, pensions were indexed by 7% in 2025, and measures for further increases in 2026 are currently being discussed.
He stated, "We are counting on a significant increase."
Adylbek Kasymaliev, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, noted that the minimum pension amount in 2025 was set at the level of the subsistence minimum, which is 7,100 soms. He also emphasized that pensions will grow annually, but it is currently impossible to provide exact figures for the increase.
Kasymaliev added that every year on October 1, the amount of pensions will be set at no less than the subsistence minimum. Currently, the government, together with the Social Fund, is working on increasing the income part of the fund, which should allow for a significant increase in pensions next year.
In response to a question from deputy Dastan Bekeshev about specific amounts of the increase, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers pointed out that final calculations are not yet complete. In turn, Bakhtiyar Aliyev clarified that the amount of indexing in 2026 will depend on the volume of insurance contributions received in the first half of the year, and based on these receipts, the authorities intend to ensure a more significant increase in pension payments.
