Bishkek, Dec. 19, 2025 /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan's budget has shifted its focus from the social sphere to development, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration, Adylbek Kasymaliev told in his interview with television channels dedicated to the results of the outgoing year and plans for the future.
According to the head of the Cabinet, the consolidated budget is projected at 1 trillion 93.1 billion soms. Regarding the republican budget, the revenue side was initially set at 430 billion soms, but now this figure has reached 605.5 billion soms. Taking into account additional resources, the budget increases from 585 billion soms to 939 billion soms.
Previously, the budget was primarily focused on the social sphere, with almost half of expenditures going to the social sector. Today, however, we can talk about a full-fledged development budget. Thus, approximately 35% of expenditures are allocated to the development of the real sector, 23% to the social sector, over 20% to wages, and over 6% to capital expenditures.
Significant portion of the additional funds is allocated for capitalization. For example, 64 billion soms were invested in the country's largest bank, Eldik Bank. In addition, over 50 billion soms are allocated for capital investments. Initially planned at 10 billion soms, this amount has now been increased to 60 billion soms. These funds are primarily used for infrastructure and social projects, including the construction of schools, hospitals, and other important facilities.
Our main goal is to allocate additional funds for development in a way that will yield long-term returns," Kasymaliev emphasized.
