The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Kyrgyzstan increased by 10% in January–October 2025, according to the weekly macro review of the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB).
Experts note that investments and consumption determine the positive dynamics of key economic indicators. Growth in the construction sector (+27.7%) is supported by the implementation of the state housing programme and investments in infrastructure.
Against this background, high consumer activity remains. The volume of domestic trade increased by 9.2%, stimulated by salary growth of +19.5% and the expansion of lending programmes of +43%.
In other states of the Eurasian Economic Partnership, the growth dynamics of economies are somewhat more modest, but the main indicators are consistently positive. The economic climate in the EDB partner countries favours development.

| The volume of housing commissioned in Russia decreased by 4.6% year on year to 83.6 million square metres in January–October 2025, Rosstat reports. Monthly figures began lagging behind last year's starting in April due to a significant slowdown in both the individual housing construction (IHC) and multi-apartment building segments. The situation somewhat improves in October, when a monthly increase is recorded for the first time since March this year. About 7 million square metres of housing were commissioned, which is 9% more than a year earlier. IHC commissioned 3.1 million square metres in October, which is 11.7% higher than last year's October result. Despite this growth, this became the minimum monthly figure in 2025. Following the ten-month period, the segment, which showed negative dynamics since March, remains "in the red": 55.5 million square metres were commissioned in January–October, which is 4.5% less than during the same period in 2024. The multi-apartment building sector also turns "positive" in October for the first time since June, with 3.9 million square metres commissioned (a 3% year-on-year increase). Notably, the volume of commissioned multi-apartment buildings surpasses the volume of IHC completions in October for the first time since the beginning of the year. Developers commissioned 28.1 million square metres in January–October, which is 4.6% lower than last year's figures. The Ministry of Construction predicts that housing commissioned may amount to 100–102 million square metres by the end of 2025, with slightly more than half provided by IHC. In the multi-apartment housing sector, the authorities' concern is currently caused only by the outlook for 2027–2028, due to the risks of a decrease in commissioning volumes resulting from a slowdown in the launch of new projects amid low demand. Project launches are, however, somewhat recovering. A total of 33.1 million square metres of projects launched on the market in January–October, according to DOM.RF. This is 15% less than a year earlier, but the backlog has been gradually decreasing since the middle of the year. Developers launched 4.7 million square metres of new projects in October (a 2% year-on-year increase), which became the largest volume since March 2024, according to analysts' estimates. This is happening amid some recovery in the pace of mortgage lending, which has been observed since the middle of the year. While mortgage issuance exceeded last year's level only in monetary terms in August–September, it demonstrates growth in both quantity (105 thousand loans, a 10% year-on-year increase) and volume (481 billion rouble, a 31% increase) in October. A total of 695.2 thousand loans were issued in January–October (a 40% year-on-year decrease) for 3.1 trillion rouble (a 28% decrease). By Evgenia Kryuchkova for Kommersant (Russia). |
