In 2020, per capita income was 5,625.4 soms per month (approximately $63). By 2024, this figure had risen to 11,318.6 soms, or approximately $127 per month.
The main source of growth remains labor income. Over the five years, it increased from 3,793.8 soms (approximately $43) to 8,159.2 soms per month (approximately $92). The share of labor income in the total income structure increased from 67.4% to 72.1%, reaching its highest level for the period under review.

Income from private farming continues to decline. While they accounted for 11.9% of total income in 2020, they will account for approximately 9% in 2024. In monetary terms, this figure decreased from 1,054.2 soms (approximately $12) in 2023 to 1,013.1 soms (approximately $11) in 2024.
Other income in 2024 amounted to 442.9 soms per month, or approximately $5, representing 3.9% of total disposable income.
Overall, the country's GDP in 2020 was approximately 639 billion soms (approximately $7.2–$7.5 billion, depending on the exchange rate), according to government estimates.
In 2024, the economy grew significantly, with GDP exceeding 1.5 trillion soms (approximately $17–$18 billion), a historical maximum.
Real GDP growth in 2024 was approximately 9–11.5%, according to preliminary data from the National Statistical Committee of Kyrgyzstan and revised estimates.
In 2025, according to data for January–August, GDP growth was approximately 11% compared to the same period last year.
International sources indicate that nominal GDP by the end of 2024 will be approximately $17.5 billion.
Thus, over the five-year period (2020–2024), Kyrgyzstan's GDP has approximately tripled in national currency terms and almost tripled in US dollars, reflecting accelerated economic growth, especially after 2021–2022.
