Russia remains a key source of remittances for Kyrgyzstan. It accounts for the bulk of inflows from CIS countries. Overall, the inflow of funds from CIS countries in 2025 amounted to $3.29 billion.
The total volume of remittances from individuals to Kyrgyzstan reached $3.49 billion at the end of 2025, which also exceeds the 2024 figure ($2.99 billion).
The growth in remittances is traditionally linked to an increase in the income of migrant workers. For the Kyrgyz economy, such inflows remain one of the key sources of support for consumer demand.
