The Kyrgyz economy has seen a shift towards the manufacturing sector. According to preliminary estimates, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) amounted to 573.1 billion KGS in January–May 2025, an increase of 12.3% compared to the same period last year.

Although the service sector still accounts for the largest share of GDP at 52.9%, its share began to decline by 0.8 percentage points. On the contrary, the share of goods-producing industries has grown significantly, from 28.1% to 30.5% (+2.4 percentage points). This indicates the revitalization of industry, construction, and other real sectors of the economy.

According to the National Statistics Committee, the largest contributors to the growth of the manufacturing sector were:

• construction — growth of 48.3%, with its share in GDP rising to 6.6%;
• industry — growth of 14.1%, with a share of 19.1%;
• manufacturing — growth of 15.6%, with a share of 14.3%.

At the same time, agriculture showed more modest growth rates — only 3%, with its share declining to 4.8%.

Despite the fact that the service sector is showing a downward trend in its share of GDP, its growth compared to the same period in 2024 amounted to 9.2%. The hotel and restaurant business grew particularly significantly, by 43.3%, as did trade, by 18.1%.
