BISHKEK, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Kyrgyzstan's economy grew by 10 percent in the first nine months of 2025, according to data released Wednesday by the National Statistical Committee of the country.
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) totaled over 14.2 billion U.S. dollars in January-September 2025, up 10 percent compared with the same period of 2024.
The services sector accounted for 50 percent of GDP, goods production for 34.7 percent, and net taxes on products for 15.3 percent.
Industrial output rose by 10.2 percent, construction by 29.6 percent, wholesale and retail trade by 10.9 percent, and agriculture, forestry and fisheries by 0.9 percent.
Kyrgyzstan's foreign trade turnover reached 9.85 billion dollars in January-August 2025, down 9.1 percent from the same period a year earlier.
