The volume of investments in Kyrgyzstan’s fixed capital from all sources of financing for January — March 2025 amounted to 56.8 billion soms, an increase of 90.6 percent. The press service of the Ministry of Economy reported.
The rate of investment growth has accelerated significantly compared to the same period in 2024, when growth was 63.9 percent.
According to the Ministry of Economy, the increase in investment volumes was achieved due to a 2.1-fold increase in domestic sources of financing. At the same time, the volume of external sources of financing for this period, on the contrary, decreased 1.5 times compared to January-March 2024.

- Mining;
- Manufacturing;
- Information and communications;
- Provision (supply) of electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning;
- Education;
- Housing construction.
The ministry notes that the significant capitalization of the economy during the reporting period is due to several key projects and factors:
