Kyrgyzstan's state budget showed a significant "margin of safety" at the beginning of 2026. In January and February, the country's revenues significantly exceeded expenditures, resulting in a surplus of almost 73 billion soms (almost $881 million), reports Akchabar.kg.
Compared to last year, the difference is significant. For the same two months of 2025, the surplus was approximately 49 billion soms. This means it has now grown by almost 24 billion soms—approximately 1.5 times.
This is due to increased revenues. The budget received 159 billion soms in the first two months of this year, compared to 119 billion soms the year before. The main contribution is taxes.
At the same time, the state is spending significantly less than it earns. Expenditures for the same period amounted to approximately 64 billion soms, with another 22 billion soms spent on the acquisition of material assets.
