2026-04-16 04:00 By Erika Ordonez 1 min. read

Industrial production in Kyrgyzstan climbed 17.4% year-on-year in March 2026, up from 13.1% in the previous month.

This marked the strongest expansion in industrial activity since March 2025, driven by higher output in the manufacturing sector (22.3% vs 12.9% in February), particularly in food, beverages, and tobacco products, wood and paper products, base metals and fabricated metal products, machinery and equipment, and vehicles.

Additionally, electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply declined at a markedly softer pace (-4.1% vs -14.6%).

Meanwhile, growth moderated notably in mining and quarrying (10.2% vs 52.8%) and water supply (7.3% vs 14.8%).

For the January–March 2026 period, industrial activity was 14.0% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
