Who will receive a 5,000 KGS pension increase from the Social Fund?

The Social Fund of the Kyrgyz Republic has published a draft Cabinet of Ministers resolution on pension indexation for public discussion. The final decision is expected to be made on 20 August 2025.

The draft provides for an increase in the insurance part of pensions from 1 October this year. The indexation coefficient is proposed to be set at 1.10 (or +10%), based on the growth of the average wage (114.1%) and the consumer price index (105%) for 2024.

Proposed pension increases:

• For insurance parts of pensions not exceeding 50,000 KGS, the increase will be 10%, but not less than 600 KGS.
• For pensions exceeding 50,000 KGS, the increase will be limited to 5,000 KGS.

According to preliminary estimates, indexation will require 2 billion 43.8 million KGS from the Social Fund budget.

The draft also proposes that for pensions awarded after 1 October 2025, the total amount (including the basic part) cannot be lower than the subsistence minimum for pensioners, which at the end of 2024 is 7,100 KGS.

According to the Social Fund, as of 1 October 2025, there will be 818,700 pensioners in Kyrgyzstan. As a result of indexation, the average pension will increase to 11,226 KGS.

The draft resolution has been submitted for public discussion. Comments and suggestions are welcome until 13 August.
