An action plan approved for key priorities of development
Kyrgyzstan has taken a significant step toward its long-term development goals with the approval of an action plan by the Cabinet of Ministers on December 30, 2025, based on the National Development Program through 2030. The plan outlines a comprehensive roadmap aimed at transforming the country’s economy, improving social indicators, and strengthening Kyrgyzstan’s position in international rankings over the next decade.
The implementation of the National Development Program is focused on achieving eight key target benchmarks. These include maintaining an average annual real GDP growth rate of eight percent, increasing total GDP to at least $30 billion, and raising GDP per capita to approximately $4,500. In addition to economic growth, the program places strong emphasis on human and sustainable development, with the goal of entering the top 30 countries in terms of achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals and improving Kyrgyzstan’s position in the Human Development Index ranking by at least ten places.
A central pillar of the action plan is industrialization, designed to create a more diversified and resilient economy. Measures include the establishment of a national industrial development fund and the introduction of concessional lending mechanisms for enterprises investing in energy-efficient and modern technologies. The plan also includes the creation of pilot industrial clusters and the development of technological hubs such as technoparks, innovation centers, and business incubators, aimed at supporting innovation, entrepreneurship, and value-added production.
The action plan also positions Kyrgyzstan as a regional transport and logistics hub. It provides for the expansion and modernization of highways, road infrastructure, and key border checkpoints, including Torugart and Irkeshtam. Major connectivity projects include the construction of the Barskoon–Uch-Turfan–Aksu international highway, the completion and launch of the China–Kyrgyzstan–Uzbekistan railway, and the implementation of the Kyrgyz–Kazakh industrial trade and logistics complex in the areas of the Ak-Tilek and Karasu checkpoints. The commissioning of the Bedel border checkpoint is also expected to strengthen cross-border trade and transit potential.
Agriculture and tourism are identified as strategic sectors for sustainable and inclusive growth. In agriculture, the plan envisages the creation of full-cycle enterprises in the livestock sector using modern feedlot technologies, the expansion of organic farming areas to 202,000 hectares by 2029, and targeted support for domestic producers to bring food and agricultural products into compliance with international quality and safety standards. The construction and operation of Class “A” agro-logistics centers and the introduction of automated water resource management systems are intended to improve efficiency, reduce losses, and enhance food security
Tourism development is aimed at unlocking Kyrgyzstan’s natural and recreational potential while improving regional infrastructure. The action plan includes measures to attract major international hotel chains, expand supporting infrastructure, and construct or rehabilitate roads leading to tourist destinations. It also emphasizes the formation of integrated tourism clusters with developed logistics and services, taking into account the growth of ecotourism, medical tourism, and sports tourism as priority niches.
A major focus of the action plan is the development of green energy and modernization of the power system. The program includes the implementation of hydropower projects such as the Kulanak and Kulanak-2 hydropower plants, the Upper Naryn, Sary-Jaz, and Chatkal river cascades, as well as key stages of large-scale projects including Kambarata HPP-1, the Kazarman cascade, and the Suusamyr–Kokomerin cascade. Significant investments are also planned in power transmission infrastructure, including the construction of 500 kV overhead transmission lines such as Kemin–Balykchy, Datka–Torugart, and Kemin–Torugart, along with new substations and the modernization of existing hydropower facilities. The construction of conventional power units and supporting systems is intended to ensure reliable and guaranteed capacity within the national power system.
Overall, the successful implementation of the action plan is expected to create the conditions necessary for sustained economic growth, improved quality of life, and enhanced competitiveness of the national economy.
