BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 15. Kyrgyzstan’s
goods imports increased to $1.4 billion in June 2026.
This was announced in a report published by the Eurasian
Development Bank (EDB)
The EDB noted that goods imports stood at $956 million in
January 2026 and declined to $933 million in February.
According to the bank, imports increased to $1.06 billion in
March and further to $1.27 billion in April. The indicator then
declined to $1.2 billion in May before increasing to $1.4 billion
in June.
Furthermore, the EDB added that goods imports in 2025 stood at
$898 million in January, $991 million in February, $1.22 billion in
March, $1.21 billion in April, $1.183 billion in May, $1.083
billion in June, $1.02 billion in July, $972 million in August,
$1.03 billion in September, $1.174 billion in October, $1.16
billion in November and $1.28 billion in December.
The bank noted that goods imports increased in the first half of
2026 despite some monthly fluctuations, with the strongest level
recorded in June.
Trend’s analysis
indicates that Kyrgyzstan’s goods imports are likely to remain
elevated in the coming months, supported by the strong upward
momentum seen during the first half of 2026.
Based on the current trajectory, monthly imports could remain in
the range of around $1.2–1.5 billion in the near term, although
fluctuations are likely depending on domestic demand and import
requirements.
The trend suggests that imports may continue to exceed exports
by a significant margin through the remainder of the year. If
current dynamics persist, the trade deficit could remain under
pressure in the second half of 2026.
