The gap between the average pension and the subsistence minimum exceeded 50%.

The average pension in Kyrgyzstan in 2024 reached 10,717 KGS. This amount is 51.7% higher than the subsistence minimum for pensioners, set at 7,064 KGS.

According to the Social Fund, there are a total of 846,000 pensioners registered in the country, of whom more than 652,000 receive age-based payments. Thus, three-quarters of pensioners live on this type of support.

Financing the pension system remains a key item in the Social Fund's budget: in 2024, payments to elderly citizens accounted for over 86% of the fund's total expenditure.
