According to the results of the second half of 2022, the population confidence index in Kyrgyzstan amounted to 35.5 points. The National Statistical Committee provided such data.
The confidence index is estimated in points — from −100 to +100. The higher is the score, the higher is trust. The survey was conducted in all regions of the country among 3,600 people aged from 18 to 75.
Respondents were asked three questions: «How much do you trust a certain government agency?», «How do you assess the level of corruption in it?» and «How do you rate its performance in general?»
