Overview
Kyrgyz Republic's government spending stood at 23.60% in 2025, a decline of +0.10% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 23.60% by 2025. Kyrgyz Republic ranked 76th globally.
Kyrgyz Republic’s government spending as a share of GDP fell from 26.00 in 2014 to 23.60 in 2025, placing the country 76th globally in the latest year. The decline accelerated after the all‑time peak of 27.24 in 2015, reaching an all‑time trough of 23.21 in 2019 before a modest rebound. Over the 11‑year coverage period the downward trajectory has been steeper than that of peers such as Thailand (23.37) and Mexico (23.75), suggesting a relatively tighter fiscal stance. The narrowing gap with Malawi (23.18) indicates that Kyrgyzstan is now clustered among lower‑spending economies, a position reinforced by persistent fiscal consolidation and limited revenue growth. Unless fiscal reforms broaden the tax base or external financing improves, the modest rise to 23.60 may prove temporary, and the longer‑term trend could continue downward.
