More about Kyrgyzstan

Business

Until 1991, Kyrgyzstan was one of the least developed Soviet republics, whose economies were dependent on central government subsidies. The first years of political independence were marked by a severe economic crisis, a sharp decline in economic performance and a deterioration in the social situation. From an economic point of view, there are regionally pronounced differences between the more affluent northern and the poorer southern part of the country. The economic structure is shaped by agriculture; by far the most important export good is gold. After 1991, Kyrgyzstan pursued a reform-oriented economic policy. The transition to market economy structures and the creation of corresponding institutions took place more quickly than in other Central Asian countries. That worked in the following years gross domestic product (GDP) fell sharply and did not stabilize until 1996. In 1993, Kyrgyzstan left the ruble zone and introduced its own national currency. The country thus eluded the strong economic influence of Russia, among other things. Successor states of the Soviet Union, but at the same time the growing economic ties between the companies were weakened and the supply of the raw materials they needed made more difficult. Kyrgyzstan joined the WTO on its own regionally and has thus exposed its domestic market to direct foreign competition to a large extent. The meanwhile very high inflation rate could be lowered by reducing government spending, it is 7.5% (2014). Kyrgyzstan recorded average economic growth of 5.2% between 2003 and 2009 (2014: 3.6%). That Gross National Income (GNI) per resident is (2017) US $ 1130. This makes Kyrgyzstan, along with Tajikistan, one of the poorest countries in Central Asia. A significant part of GDP is provided by development aid; Remittances from Kyrgyz people working abroad (mainly in Russia and Kazakhstan) are also of great importance. The external debt is extraordinarily high and is around 100% of GDP. In contrast, foreign direct investment (one third from China) is very low. Legal uncertainty and corruption have an inhibiting effect. The official unemployment rate (2014) is 7.6%, but hidden unemployment is estimated to be much higher; the informal sector is very pronounced.

Foreign trade: The foreign trade balance has always been negative in recent years (2014: export value 1.65 billion US $; import value 5.73 billion US $). The main export goods are non-ferrous metals, especially gold (2014: 44.0% of total exports), precious stones, chemicals, food and beverages, as well as textiles and leather goods. The most important import goods are mineral products (energy sources), food and agricultural products, machines and equipment, chemical products and vehicles. The main supplier countries are Russia, China and the neighboring countries in Central Asia. When it comes to exports, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates are the two most important trading partners because of the export of gold; Kazakhstan and Russia follow.

Agriculture

Around a third of the workforce is employed in agriculture, generating 17.3% of GDP (2014). Only 7.0% of the land area can be used for arable farming, three quarters of which are irrigation areas. The water is a. derived from the Great Chuk Canal and the Toktogul and Orto-Tokoi reservoirs. Improper irrigation methods and excessive use of mineral fertilizers in cotton cultivation led to considerable ecological damage in the irrigation areas, especially in the Fergana basin. Agriculture is 90% privatized. With cattle grazing around 85% of the agricultural area, livestock farming is extremely important (around two thirds of agricultural production). Sheep breeding has an overwhelming share (2012: 4.5 million sheep), along with goat, Cattle, horse, camel and chicken breeding operated. Sericulture is also important for the production of natural silk. Important crops are potatoes, cotton, grain (wheat, barley) and fodder crops. Other agricultural products are vegetables, fruits, cotton and tobacco.

Natural resources

Compared to the other Central Asian countries, Kyrgyzstan has relatively small amounts of raw materials. Gold, uranium, antimony, mercury, lead, zinc, arsenic, hard coal and lignite are of economic importance. There are few oil and gas deposits in the Fergana Basin. The most important mining product is gold (2012: 10.3 t). The most productive mine is at Kumtor in the northeast (Issykkul area); other deposits are located at Jerooy, Taldy Bulak and Chaarat. The production of mercury is also of great importance.
