Over 139,000 cars worth $1 billion were imported into Kyrgyzstan over the course of the year

In 2025, Kyrgyz entrepreneurs and private individuals imported more than 139,000 passenger cars into the country, with a total value of over $1 billion. This was reported by MBANK, citing data from the National Statistical Committee.

According to the bank, if all the imported cars were lined up end-to-end, the convoy would stretch for over 650 kilometres – a distance comparable to that between Bishkek and Osh.

South Korea, China, the US and European countries remain the main suppliers of cars to Kyrgyzstan. At the same time, every transaction involving the purchase of a car abroad involves international money transfers.

The bank also pointed out that, in the past, small international transfers were often subject to high fees, which increased the costs of purchasing spare parts and components.
