This new regulation, signed by Adylbek Kasymaliyev, will take effect on July 1, with the monthly payout set at 1,200 Kyrgyz soms.
To ensure timely and consistent financial support, the Ministry of Finance has been instructed to allocate the necessary funds from the national budget.

Key government bodies, including the Ministry of Health, the Presidential Administration, and the "Tunduk" OJSC, are tasked with ensuring the prompt transfer of birth registration data to the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration. Healthcare workers will proactively inform parents about their eligibility for the allowance during home visits and routine vaccinations. Furthermore, the Presidential Administration and the "Kyizmat" state enterprise are responsible for organizing resident registration for citizens with children under three years old by July 1.
