The Kyrgyz Ministry of Economy has presented a large-scale plan to curb inflation for 2026–2027, aiming to keep price growth within 7.7–8.5% and prevent it from accelerating to 9.5% due to external economic shocks, rising fuel prices, and logistical constraints, Economist.kg reported.
This state anti-inflation program will allocate 39 billion soms in procurement and financing, aimed at eliminating commodity shortages, primarily for fuel and lubricants, infrastructure development, and direct support for domestic production.
As part of the plan, Kyrgyz Agroholding will import 20,000 head of cattle and 700,000 tons of wheat, and 100 direct meat retail outlets will open in the regions, without intermediaries, with free land and electricity subsidies. Eleven trade logistics centers with a capacity of 18,000 tons and 10 grain storage facilities with a capacity of 100,000 tons will be built for food storage, with 1 billion soms in concessional loans allocated.
Four integrated poultry farms will be established with working capital of 2 billion soms, corn and oilseed crops will be expanded by 20,000 hectares, and 750 million soms will be allocated to subsidize milk purchases from farmers. In the fuel and lubricants sector, compensation for oil traders' costs continues (956.1 million soms have already been allocated), and a one-year moratorium on increasing state tariffs is in effect.
The plan appears balanced: instead of strict price regulation, the government is relying on concessional financing, infrastructure, and expanded supply, which should have a rapid moderating effect, although the ultimate success will depend on the external environment.
