Overview
Kyrgyz Republic's government effectiveness stood at -1.03 in 2025, a decline of +0.14 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -1.03 by 2025. Kyrgyz Republic ranked 170th globally.
Kyrgyz Republic’s Government Effectiveness score, measured on the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators, has deteriorated markedly over the 26‑year series, falling from a modest –0.38 in 1996 to an all‑time trough of –1.03 in 2025, the lowest rating among 170 economies. The brief improvement in the late 1990s produced a peak of –0.35 in 1998, but subsequent reforms failed to sustain higher performance, and the index has slid steadily into the negative range. By 2025 the country ranks 170th globally, closely trailing peers such as Guatemala (–1.02) and Honduras (–0.98), and only marginally better than Zimbabwe (–1.12). The persistent decline reflects challenges in bureaucratic capacity, policy implementation and regulatory quality, which have eroded public confidence and foreign investment. If Kyrgyzstan can strengthen merit‑based civil service recruitment, improve inter‑agency coordination, and enhance transparency in budget execution, the downward trajectory may be halted and a modest recovery in effectiveness could emerge in the coming years.
