Non-tax revenues in Kyrgyzstan's budget have grown almost ninefold in five years

Non-tax revenues to the Kyrgyz state budget for the period from 2020 to 2025 increased 8-9 times and reached 189.4 billion KGS, said the chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and head of the Resident Administration, Adylbek Kasymaliyev, at a meeting of the Ministry of Finance.

For comparison, in 2020, non-tax revenues amounted to about 33 billion KGS. These include dividends, payments from state-owned enterprises, rent, fines and other revenues not directly related to taxes and customs duties.

According to the head of the Cabinet of Ministers, such a sharp increase was the result of changes in approaches to managing state assets and strengthening financial discipline. The transfer of Kumtor to state control played a significant role: in 2021–2025 alone, the budget received more than 400 billion KGS in taxes and payments, as well as over 100 billion KGS in dividends.

Kasymaliyev noted that the growth in non-tax revenues makes it possible to reduce the budget's dependence on the fiscal burden on businesses and the population and to form a so-called development budget aimed at infrastructure projects, road construction and mortgage housing.

Following the meeting, the Ministry of Finance was instructed to focus on more efficient use of budget funds and increasing wages in the social sector in 2026.
