Kyrgyzstan's Export Directions
In the export sector, Russia remains a key partner, accounting for 22 percent (which is $27.9 million), while Kazakhstan follows with a share of 21.9 percent ($27.8 million). Uzbekistan rounds out the top three with 13 percent ($16.5 million).
Switzerland is in fourth place (12.8 percent — $16.2 million), and China is only in fifth (8.4 percent — $10.6 million).
The foreign trade turnover of Kyrgyzstan in January 2026 amounted to $1 billion 52.9 million, which is 2 percent more compared to the previous year.
However, the trade structure remains heavily deficit: despite a 20.3 percent decrease in exports, the volume of imports increased to $926.1 million, leading to a negative balance of almost $800 million.
The high share of trade with EAEU countries (37.7 percent) provides some stability, but dependence on supplies from third countries remains critical (62.3 percent).
