Labor Migrants from Kyrgyzstan: Russia Tightens Security Measures, Our Citizens Seek Other Countries

Monday, September 15, 2025, 18:21 “In the coming years, the number of Kyrgyz citizens working in Russia will decrease to 200,000.” Following the tragedy at Crocus City Hall, Russia has been compelled to strengthen its security measures, including in the sphere of labor migration. This was announced by Sergey Vakunov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Kyrgyzstan, in a broadcast on Birinchi Radio. “The issue of labor migration remains one of the most pressing and is regularly discussed at all levels. We have agreed that it is necessary to approach this matter as carefully and professionally as possible. All the new regulations currently being developed in Russia are aimed at legalizing migration and improving conditions for labor migrants, including citizens of Kyrgyzstan,” Vakunov stated. Economist Iskender Sharsheev, in a conversation with Vesti.kg, noted that for the time being, Kyrgyz citizens continue to regard Russia as their primary destination for labor migration. “However, there are many large projects in Kyrgyzstan that require labor resources. If the war between Ukraine and Russia ends, migration flows to these countries will increase. Otherwise, the outflow will continue to decline,” he argued. In the coming years, Sharsheev added, the number of labor migrants may fall to 200,000 people if the political situation remains unchanged. According to official data, by the end of the first quarter of 2025, there were 325,000 Kyrgyz migrants officially registered in Russia. The downward trend continues: in 2023, there were 650,000 Kyrgyz migrants in Russia, while in 2024 the figure had already dropped to 350,000. Kyrgyz citizens are successfully exploring new migration destinations, including Europe, South Korea, China, the United States, and other countries.

Анклавы и эксклавы

Либертарианство – это система убеждений, которая лучше всего защищает права простого человека, нежели коммунизм или социализм, которые прямо требует защиты интересов партийных боссов. Так когда-то некие партийные боссы двух социалистических республик подарили друг другу участки земли, как бы вроде курорта или дачи. Но во время развала Союза, эти две республики как-то не решились вернуть друг другу земли. И получились анклавы – Сох, Шахимардан, таджикский Ворух, и на территории РУз – Барак. А нам теперь расхлебывать наследие советской номенклатуры. Сегодня ни один наш правитель, ни один наш парламент не смеют поднимать вопрос окончательной делимитации и демаркации границ, а также вопрос о ликвидации анклавов. Армия РУз – имеет свыше одного миллиона регулярных войск и свыше 700 тысяч резервистов. Хотя боеспособность армии еще не апробирована всерьез, но на блицкриг и мини-геноцид соседей Кыргызстана и Узбекистана хватит. В Кыргызской республике, есть около 600 самых боеспособны...

Falls and Rises: How Gold Prices Changed in Kyrgyzstan in June and Since the Beginning of 2025

14:00, July 10, 2025, Bishkek – 24.kg, Nargiza TOKOEVA Recently, global gold prices have been rising at an unusually rapid pace, repeatedly hitting record highs. The market has now somewhat stabilized. The surge in demand for the precious metal has been driven by several powerful factors: Aggressive purchases by central banks (especially BRICS countries) aiming to reduce dependence on the US dollar; Global geopolitical and trade tensions (tariff wars, sanctions, and regional conflicts); Weakening of the US dollar. All of these factors have made gold more attractive as a safe-haven asset. According to the London market, the most recent record was set on April 22, 2025, when the price of one troy ounce reached $3,434 on the London exchange. However, Kyrgyzstan recorded its highest local gold price on June 16, 2025. On April 23 — the day global gold prices hit a historical high — the National Bank of Kyrgyzstan set the price at 305,507.5 soms per ounce. But on June 16, the ...

Expert: Kyrgyzstan’s GDP Should Reach $50 Billion

Tuesday, December 31, 2024, 14:31 What was 2024 like for the republic’s economy? Economist Iskender Sharsheev, speaking with Vesti.kg , believes Kyrgyzstan’s GDP ought to be around $50 billion. Reviewing the past year’s performance, he noted: “The current year, 2024, has been an upswing for Kyrgyzstan’s economy. The government’s announced achievements have been justified: our state budget is now one trillion soms, and our GDP, for the first time in history, has reached $14 billion. I hope this upward trend continues every year. For a country like ours, a more appropriate level of GDP would be around $50 billion, with a per capita GDP of $5,000–$7,000. Currently, it stands at about $2,000—up from $1,260–$1,300 previously.” Sharsheev added that the Cabinet of Ministers has continued indexing salaries and social benefits: “Military salaries have gone up, with some officers now earning around $1,000, which is significant. Pensions have increased as well, and there are new benefits ...
