Kyrgyzstanis invest over 19.7 trillion soms in private home construction

Kyrgyzstan saw significant investment in private home construction during the first half of 2026, with 4,591 individual residential houses commissioned, covering a total area of 634,000 square meters. The total investment volume reached 19.7978 trillion soms, according to data from the National Statistical Committee.

The total area of commissioned individual homes increased by 6.1 percent compared to the same period in 2025. Private ownership accounts for the largest share of investment, with total investments across all housing categories reaching 75.636 trillion soms. Individual housing construction continues to be a major driver of these investments, contributing to steady sector growth.

Bishkek led the nation in construction growth, increasing its commissioned housing space by 40.4 percent. Batken and Naryn regions also showed strong positive dynamics, with growth rates of 16.5 percent and 13.1 percent, respectively. However, construction activity declined in several regions.

The Issyk-Kul and Talas regions experienced the most significant decreases, with housing construction volumes falling by 24.4 percent and 24.8 percent. Jalal-Abad region saw a smaller decrease of 5 percent. The concentration of investment in Bishkek is attributed to urbanization and high housing demand, while growth in Batken and Naryn may reflect regional development programs. Declines in resort and high-altitude areas could be linked to seasonal factors or a shift in public investment towards major infrastructure projects.
