Over a year and a half — from 2024 to the first half of 2025 — the growth in accumulated investment was 21%, which is almost three times higher than the regional average of 6.2%.
The volume of FDI from countries in the Eurasian region into the Kyrgyz economy reached $2.4 billion. The main contributors were Russia ($300 million) and Uzbekistan ($120 million). The leaders by sector were the electric power industry (+$210 million) and manufacturing (+$95 million).
All projects implemented in 2024–2025 are greenfield investments, i.e. the creation of new production facilities. Among the largest are the construction of a solar power plant and a mountain health resort in the Issyk-Kul region.
Experts note that the attractiveness of the Kyrgyz economy for investors from the Eurasian region continues to grow, and the investment model is gradually shifting towards new production facilities and projects in the field of renewable energy.
