BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, March 16. Kyrgyzstan’s
National Development Program for 2030 sets a target for the
country’s GDP to reach at least $30 billion by the end of the
decade, Trend
reports.
The program also sets goals for a GDP per capita between $4,000
to $4,500 by 2030.
The core provisions of the program include a projected nominal
GDP growth rate of 11-12 percent per year. The government intends
to keep external debt at no more than 60 percent of GDP and reduce
unemployment to less than 5 percent. Investment in fixed assets is
expected to reach 20 percent of GDP by 2030.
Kyrgyzstan also plans to improve its global standing by aiming
to enter the top 100 countries in the Human Development Index and
rank among the top 30 countries in achieving the United Nations’
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The structure of the Program is built on a thorough analysis of
Kyrgyzstan’s competitive advantages and global trends shaping the
future of economic development. The country benefits from rich
natural resources, which can serve as the foundation for long-term
economic stability, as well as its strategic geopolitical position,
which offers new opportunities for trade and investment.
Meanwhile, the country’s favorable demographic status,
particularly its youthful workforce, provides significant potential
for growth. Kyrgyzstan’s location within the region further
positions it for integration into global supply chains.
Furthermore, the Program acknowledges the need for adaptation to
global trends and challenges, ensuring the resilience of the
national economy.
In 2024, Kyrgyzstan’s GDP growth reached 9 percent. The
country’s GDP exceeded 1.5 trillion soms (more than $17
billion).
On March 6, 2025, a discussion was held regarding the draft of
Kyrgyzstan’s National Development Program for 2030. Work on the
program is ongoing. The National Program will outline the key areas
of the country’s development, including industrialization,
transportation infrastructure, digitalization, as well as issues
related to ecology, culture, and social policy.
