BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, March 27. Total
cross-border remittance outflows from Kyrgyzstan in January 2026
amounted to $17.7 million, down 23% compared to January 2025, when
outflows reached $22.9 million.
The data obtained by Trend from the country's National Bank indicates that
the total remittance outflows reached $373.7 million throughout
2025, with noticeable monthly fluctuations. The highest volumes
were recorded in August ($45.3 million) and July ($41.3 million),
while the lowest were seen in November ($19.8 million) and December
($21.7 million).
The average monthly outflow stood at around $31 million,
offering insight into the overall trend in money transfers. The
data shows strong growth during the summer months, followed by
seasonal declines towards the end of the year.
These figures indicate a moderate decline in remittance outflows
at the start of 2026, likely due to normal fluctuations in economic
activity and household spending patterns. Despite the January drop,
annual trends remain stable over the long term.
Overall, while January saw lower outflows abroad, the structure
of Kyrgyzstan’s cross-border remittance flows remains resilient,
reflecting a predictable and stable pattern of financial
transfers.
