External balance on goods and services NE.RSB.GNFS.CD

Overview
Kyrgyz Republic's trade balance stood at $-10.2B in 2025, a decline of +$3.1B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $-10.2B by 2025. Kyrgyz Republic ranked 159th globally.
Kyrgyz Republic’s trade balance has deepened dramatically over the 36‑year series, moving from a modest deficit of –540,742,121.95 in 1990 to a record trough of –10,224,541,822.58 in 2025, the worst figure among the 159 economies tracked by the World Bank. The all‑time peak of –4,541,279.20 in 2001 already signalled a widening gap between exports and imports, but the subsequent acceleration reflects persistent structural constraints, limited diversification of export commodities and a reliance on imported energy and machinery. By 2025 the deficit places Kyrgyz Republic alongside peers such as Belgium (–10,184,729,693.20) and Honduras (–10,794,669,660.56), underscoring that the imbalance is comparable to more industrialised or commodity‑exporting economies despite Kyrgyzstan’s smaller scale. Continued fiscal reforms, expansion of value‑added processing and improved trade logistics could moderate the deficit, but without such interventions the negative trajectory is likely to persist.
