Bishkek, April 20, 2026. /Kabar/. As part of the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group in Washington, D.C., Minister of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic Bakyt Sydykov met with Moody's analysts.
According to the ministry, Bakyt Sydykov thanking the agency for its cooperation, noted that Kyrgyzstan views interaction with Moody's as an important part of the institutional dialogue aimed at strengthening international investor confidence and objectively reflecting economic reforms in the country.
"We appreciate Moody's professional approach and are open to a meaningful, constructive, and regular exchange of information. For its part, Kyrgyzstan is fulfilling its obligations under this cooperation in good faith," he said.
The ministry also expressed gratitude for upgrading Moody's' outlook to positive in July 2025, maintaining Kyrgyzstan's rating at B3. This is seen as a signal that the country's ongoing reforms and macroeconomic stability have received international recognition.
It is noted that upgrading the sovereign credit rating is one of the key economic policy guidelines within the framework of the National Development Program of the Kyrgyz Republic until 2030.
"The country's economy has indeed demonstrated high growth rates of 9.5-11% annually over the past four years. This is a sustainable trend, supported by investment, domestic demand, and growth in construction, services, and industrial activity," the minister noted. Based on actual economic growth rates in recent years, the Kyrgyz side proposed that Moody's consider upgrading the current B3 rating in future reviews.
