At a meeting held on February 27, Sadyr Japarov discussed the results of the socio-economic development of Kyrgyzstan and plans for the coming years. The President noted the positive dynamics in key areas, which confirms the effectiveness of the ongoing course.
The President added that January 28 marked five years since he took office, and this meeting would allow for a summary of the work done during this period. “We will analyze all achievements and determine further directions,” he emphasized. Over the five years, the country has experienced both successes and serious challenges, including the consequences of the pandemic and economic difficulties.
“Five years ago, Kyrgyzstan was in a difficult position. We faced institutional weaknesses, a budget deficit, and a decline in trust in state mechanisms. I remember what I said then: ‘Everything will be fine in Kyrgyzstan.’ This was not just a promise, but a commitment to the people,” Japarov noted.
With the support of the people, according to the president, significant successes have been achieved over the past five years: an increase in GDP from $8.3 billion in 2020 to over $22.6 billion in 2025, as well as growth in tax revenues and customs duties.
“We have achieved financial independence. International reserves have exceeded $10 billion, which is a strategic achievement for our economy,” he added.
Sadyr Japarov also addressed issues related to the country's gold reserves. He noted that the issue of "Kumtor" was complex and required a serious approach. In 2021, Kyrgyzstan regained full control over "Kumtor," which was an important step towards strengthening economic independence.
The President emphasized that successful changes have also been achieved in the regulation of the state border. “In recent years, we have resolved issues with Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. This is an important achievement for our country,” Japarov said.
From the perspective of internal security, the president noted that over the past five years, a large-scale reform of law enforcement agencies has been carried out, which has also contributed to strengthening law and order. He added that the fight against corruption remains a priority, and many assets that were illegally appropriated earlier have been returned.
“In recent years, we have created a system focused on citizens. New schools, hospitals, and social facilities have been built, and living conditions for people have improved,” he noted.
The president concluded his speech by calling for unity and continued work for the benefit of the country, emphasizing that Kyrgyzstan must become a strong and competitive state by 2030.
“I believe in the future of Kyrgyzstan and in our people, and we must maintain the momentum on the path to building a new Kyrgyzstan,” he summarized.
