As a result of intensified targeted social support in Kyrgyzstan, the number of citizens receiving state benefits has decreased by almost 195.9 thousand. This was reported by the First Deputy Minister of Labor, Social Protection, and Migration of the Kyrgyz Republic, Kamchybek Dosmatov, at a recent meeting of the ministry.
He noted that the ministry is actively working on implementing mechanisms that allow for more effective distribution of assistance and support for those segments of the population that need it the most.
As Dosmatov emphasized, since 2021, the number of benefit recipients has decreased from 359.5 thousand to 163.6 thousand in 2025.
In the same year, important decisions regarding social payments were made. In particular, monthly cash compensations for veterans of the Great Patriotic War, Chernobyl disaster liquidators, participants in military conflicts, and other categories of citizens have been increased. These measures were formalized by the decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic No. 132 dated April 18, 2025.
Additionally, a new monthly allowance for the third and subsequent children under three years old was introduced for citizens living in high-altitude, remote, and border areas, regardless of the family's financial situation. The application process started on January 12, 2026, and payments will begin on February 1, 2026, amounting to 3,000 soms.
Furthermore, the President of the Kyrgyz Republic established a one-time payment "Bala Bereke" for mothers of large families from high-altitude and remote regions. The amount of assistance depends on the number of children:
for the birth of the fourth child — 100,000 soms;
for the seventh — 1 million soms;
for the tenth and each subsequent child — 2 million soms.
These new initiatives are aimed at supporting families living in hard-to-reach areas, as well as improving the demographic situation in the country.
