BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, May 27. Consumer prices in Kyrgyzstan have risen by 2.9 percent since the beginning of 2025, with the annual inflation rate currently at 7.7 percent.
The data obtained by Trend from the country's State Statistical Committee shows that the recent inflationary pressures have been mainly driven by adjustments to certain administered prices, particularly electricity tariffs, alongside seasonal increases in the prices of fruits and vegetables.
Despite these factors, the overall inflation trend remains within the expected range. An evaluation of both external and domestic inflation drivers suggests that the annual inflation rate is likely to settle within the medium-term target band of 5–7 percent by year-end.
Given the volatility in global food and commodity markets, combined with domestic inflationary pressures stemming from electricity tariff revisions and increased internal demand, the National Bank has opted to keep the key policy rate steady at 9.00 percent.
Kyrgyzstan's National Bank reiterated its commitment to a balanced monetary policy and stressed its readiness to act swiftly in response to any emerging risks to price stability.
