GDP growth

Source: 24.kg

The Kyrgyz Republic is a low-income country with a gross domestic product of $11.4 Billion in 2008.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, GDP declined to 50 percent of the 1990 levels. All economic indicators   deteriorated; hyperinflation, rising unemployment, and a reduction of real incomes led to a dramatic rise in poverty.

The economy began to recover from 1996 onward. Since then, the country has made considerable progress in  attaining  macroeconomic stability. Average GDP has grown at about 5.5 percent a year since 2003 and the high rates of poverty  have started to decline since 2000.
