Kyrgyzstan’s exports have fallen by 12.5% since the start of the year

Kyrgyzstan’s total foreign and bilateral trade volume in January–February 2026 amounted to $2.1 billion. Compared to the same period last year, the figure decreased by 2.9%.

Exports saw the sharpest decline. Over two months, Kyrgyzstan exported $306 million worth of goods, which is 12.5% less than a year earlier.

The decline occurred both in CIS countries, where exports fell by 11.5%, and in non-CIS countries—by 14.6%.

Meanwhile, imports declined only slightly—by 1.1%—to $1.79 billion. At the same time, imports from CIS countries, on the contrary, increased by 8.7%.

As a result, the trade deficit widened to $1.49 billion. In other words, the country continues to buy significantly more from abroad than it sells.

Exports accounted for only 14.6% of total trade, while imports accounted for 85.4%.
