The Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, Adylbek Kasymaliev, announced that the budget for 2026 will be formed with a surplus, aiming for sustainable economic development and improved living conditions for citizens. The consolidated budget for the upcoming year will amount to 843.6 billion soms, while the authorities aim to collect at least 1 trillion soms. This statement was made during an extended meeting of the committees of the Jogorku Kenesh, where the government’s report for 2024, changes to the budget for 2025, and the draft law on the republican budget for 2026, as well as forecasts for 2027–2028, were discussed.
Kasymaliev emphasized that the priority for the Cabinet remains the social sphere, for which 230.9 billion soms is allocated. These funds will be directed towards the development of education, healthcare, and social protection for the population.
The head of the government also noted that significant transformations are expected in Kyrgyzstan over the next 5 years.
“The state continues to implement major strategic infrastructure projects outlined in the National Development Program until 2030. Among the key projects are the construction of the Kambarata HPP-1 and the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway, which will serve as the foundation for the country's energy and transport security,” concluded Kasymaliev.
He also reported that in 2025, the consolidated budget of the country amounted to 1 trillion 93 billion soms, exceeding the historical threshold. Achieving such a figure two years ahead of the planned timeline was the result of consistent economic and fiscal policy.
“In 2025, a significant portion of the budget funds was directed towards strategic areas, including the capitalization of 'Eldik Bank' and energy companies, as well as the construction of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway and Kambarata HPP-1, along with the State Mortgage Company. The volume of capital investments increased more than fivefold — from 10 billion to 51.7 billion soms,” noted the Chairman of the Cabinet.
