  • Price Monitoring for Food Security in the Kyrgyz Republic
    Issue 31|16 – 30 December 2020 Price Monitoring for Food Security in the Kyrgyz Republic This issue of the Price Monitoring Bulletin is prepared based on the operational daily food price data collected by the National Statistics Committee from 18 markets across the country and disaggregated at province level as the average value (Chuy province - Tokmok, Kara-Balta; Osh province - Osh, Uzgen, Kara-Suu and Nookat; Talas province - Talas and Manas; Naryn province - Naryn and Chaek; Batken province - Batken and Isfana; Jalal-Abad province - Jalal-Abad, Toktogul and Kerben; Yssyk-Kul province - Karakol and Balykchy; and Bishkek city). This is a secondary data analysis. Highlights SITUATION UPDATE: Since March 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic and its resulting negative impacts on the global economy have led to a recession in the economies of many countries, including the Kyrgyz Republic. In addition, the recent political instability has further contributed to the deterioration of the economy. The situation in regard to COVID-19 remained stable with 119 COVID-19 cases on 30 December. Compared to the same period last year, the Kyrgyz Republic’s GDP decreased by 8.1 percent totaling 511 billion Kyrgyz soms from January to November 2020. Negative trends were observed in the construction, wholesale and retail trade economic sectors. The highest share of GDP accounted for industry (21.3 percent), manufacturing industry (17.8 percent), trade (15.2 percent) and agriculture (14.8 percent). Compared to the same period last year, the Consumer Price Index, which measures price inflation, increased by 6 percent for all goods and services and by 11 percent for staple foods (cereals, meat, fish, milk and dairy products, fruits and vegetables).

  • Quarterly Report
    EBRD Micro and Small Enterprise Finance Facility Kyrgyzstan (MSFF) Implemented by: Financed by: EBRD - European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Internationale Projekt Consult (IPC), Germany USAID - United States Agency for International Development Developpement et Finance International (DFI), France IFC – International Finance Corporation SECO – State Secretariat for Economic Affairs TACIS – European Commission EuropeAid Quarterly Report 01 April – 30 June 2003 1. General Situation There are no significant changes with regards to the political/security situation to report for the period of this report. Although the overall situation was calm, two incidents deserve mentioning: in the beginning of May a bomb exploded in a money exchange office in Osh, killing one person. Approximately one week later, a gang robbed a police weapons depot in Dzhalal Abad. Whereas the motivation of the first incident remains unclear, the second incident appears to have been a criminal act. According to available information most of the gang (former policemen) have been arrested and some of the weapons secured. On the other side of the border (in Kazakhstan), a gang of men dressed as policemen successfully and in a rather spectacular manner robbed a bus of small traders on their way from Almaty to Shimkent. The economic situation appears to have deteriorated. In part this a result of the fact that the borders to China and Uzbekistan were closed for most of May and into the beginning of June. Additionally, the US Dollar – Kyrgyz Som exchange rate has changed noticeably over the past quarter (from approx. 46/47 KGS/USD to 39KGS/USD). Although the Kyrgyz Som has become stronger against the USD, the general reaction of the population (and bankers) is one of insecurity and uncertainty.

  • Price Monitoring for Food Security in the Kyrgyz Republic Monthly Monitoring and Outlook of Basic Food Prices in the Kyrgyz Republic
    Issue 20| July 2017 Price Monitoring for Food Security in the Kyrgyz Republic Monthly monitoring and outlook of basic food prices in the Kyrgyz Republic Highlights and outlook for the next few months The Kyrgyz Republic imports wheat flour from the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan due to the low quality of domestically produced wheat, which makes the country vulnerable to international price volatility. In July 2017, the export prices for wheat in the Russian Federation increased by 4 percent compared to July 2016 whilst export prices in Kazakhstan and domestic prices for wheat flour remained stable . Since the beginning of 2017 global sugar prices have decreased due to high global sugar production during 2016/17. However in July 2017, global sugar prices increased by 3 percent on a month-on-month basis. Domestic sugar prices also increased by 7 percent on a month-on-month basis. This could be linked to the increase of export prices in Ukraine and Belarus from where the Kyrgyz Republic imports sugar. After a significant increase in vegetable prices since the beginning of 2017 due to a prolonged period of rain and subsequent delayed harvest, the prices for cabbages and potatoes started to decrease in July 2017. They decreased by 15 and 33 percent on a month-on-month basis. However, prices for carrots increased by 8 percent on a month-on-month basis although a price decrease is expected next month with the arrival of the new harvest. In July 2017, the US Dollar appreciated by 1 percent, while the Russian ruble and Kazakh tenge depreciated by 2 and 1 percent respectively against the national currency on a month-on-month basis.
