The Cabinet of Ministers has approved the draft national budget for 2027

At its meeting on 25 September, the Cabinet of Ministers approved the draft national budget for 2027 and the planning period 2028–2029. This was announced by the Cabinet’s press office.

The bill will now be submitted to the Jogorku Kenesh for consideration.

Revenue for the coming year is projected at 727.3 billion KGS — an increase of 176.1 billion KGS, or 31.9 per cent, compared with 2026. Tax revenue, in particular, is projected at 634 billion KGS.

A significant increase in funding is planned for the social sector. It is planned to allocate 134.2 billion KGS to education, which is 45.2 billion KGS more than in 2026. Expenditure on healthcare will amount to 76.4 billion KGS – an increase of 21.7 billion – and on social protection to 47.3 billion KGS, or 21.6 billion more.

From 2027, mothers with multiple children living in high-altitude and remote areas will begin to receive the ‘Bala Bereke’ one-off payment. Payments of the ‘Bala Yrysy’ allowance will also continue, as will 50 per cent compensation for electricity costs for residents of high-altitude areas with particularly challenging living conditions.

27.8 billion KGS from domestic sources is earmarked for capital construction. Of this, 17.7 billion KGS is planned to be allocated to the Barskoon–Bedel motorway, with a further 10 billion going towards social facilities, drinking water supply, irrigation and road infrastructure.

Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliev attributed the expansion of budgetary capacity to economic growth. According to the figures he cited, GDP grew by 11.1 per cent in 2025 and by 11 per cent in the first eight months of 2026.

“The most important thing is that this growth translates into the state’s financial capacity, and that increased capacity translates into concrete actions that the people can see and benefit from,” noted the Prime Minister.

Kasymaliev instructed officials to ensure budgetary discipline and the targeted and effective use of funds, emphasising the need for a tangible result for every KGS allocated.
