It is noted that the development of Kyrgyzstan continues to contain a relatively high level of public debt, a discrepancy between the target and actual values of fiscal and monetary indicators, as well as a low level of economic and institutional development of the country.
Kyrgyzstan’s development continued to be constrained by relatively high and growing debt figures in absolute terms, continuously missed fiscal and monetary targets, as well as by low economic and institutional development.
The banking sector of the republic remained vulnerable; however, the recent sector’s profitability increase and ongoing reforms had a noticeable positive effect on the sector.
«On the positive side, the smooth recovery of the biggest CIS trading partners, through growing remittances and trading activity supported the output growth. However, a sustained increase in real GDP will continue to depend on the amount of gold production in the country’s biggest mines, as well as on the continuous implementation of the key infrastructure projects.
