Kyrgyzstan has raised its forecast for the average salary in 2026 by 7,500 KGS

Kyrgyzstan has revised its wage forecasts for 2026–2028. According to the updated estimates, the average monthly wage in 2026 could reach 51,700 KGS, up from the previously approved 44,200. Thus, the forecast has been raised by 7,500 KGS, or 17%, in one go.

These changes are included in the updated forecast for Kyrgyzstan’s socioeconomic development, prepared as part of the adjustment to the national budget.

The most significant revision concerns the next two years. In 2027, the average monthly salary is projected to be 58,269.8 KGS instead of the previously approved 48,008 KGS. The difference amounts to 10,300 KGS, or 21.4%.

In 2028, the figure could reach 63,980.2 KGS, compared to the initial forecast of 52,088.7 KGS. The estimate has been raised by nearly 11,900 KGS, or 22.8%.

If the updated forecast proves accurate, the average monthly salary in Kyrgyzstan will increase by 23.9% over two years.

At the same time, the projected subsistence minimum has been revised. In 2026, it is expected to be 9,627.9 KGS instead of 8,990.3 KGS. In 2027, the subsistence minimum could reach 10,455.9 KGS, and in 2028—11,219.2 KGS.

It is important to note that this is a forecast, not an actual increase in workers’ incomes.
