Kyrgyzstan is demonstrating significant success in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), outpacing its neighbors in the Eurasian region. According to information provided by the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB), from the beginning of 2024 to mid-2025, the volume of accumulated investments in Kyrgyzstan increased by 21%. In contrast, the average growth in the region, which includes CIS countries, Georgia, and Mongolia, was only 6.2%, confirming the high interest of investors in the country's assets.
Currently, the total volume of foreign capital in Kyrgyzstan's economy has reached 2.4 billion dollars. Among the main foreign investors are Russia, which invested about 300 million dollars, and Uzbekistan with investments of approximately 120 million dollars. The main factor driving this growth has been the energy sector, which received 210 million dollars. This sector is showing active development against the backdrop of increasing domestic demand and global trends in renewable energy sources. Additionally, a significant influx of funds is observed in the manufacturing industry — 95 million dollars.
Interestingly, all new investments in 2024–2025 fall into the category of greenfield, which means the creation of new enterprises and infrastructure from scratch. This indicates long-term business confidence in the Kyrgyz market. Among the most notable projects, experts highlight the construction of a solar power plant and the establishment of a health resort cluster in the Issyk-Kul region. These initiatives not only strengthen the country's energy independence but also enhance its tourist attractiveness.
