Over 44,000 newborns born in Kyrgyzstan in four months

Kyrgyzstan's population has seen a modest increase, reaching 7,442,000 people as of May 1, 2026. This figure represents a 0.5 percent growth, or an addition of 37,400 individuals, during the period from January to April of the same year, according to the National Statistical Committee.

The data reveals a significant number of births during the first four months of 2026, with 44,200 newborns registered. This natural increase is partially offset by 10,900 registered deaths within the same timeframe. The overall natural population growth rate stood at 33,300 people, or 13.7 per 1,000 individuals.

Analysis of mortality causes indicates that diseases of the circulatory system were the primary factor, accounting for over half (54 percent) of all registered deaths. Neoplasms followed, making up 13 percent of fatalities, while respiratory diseases and external causes each represented 7 percent of the total deaths.

The report also highlighted regional variations in population growth. The highest rates of natural population increase were observed in the Batken, Osh, and Jalal-Abad regions. Conversely, Bishkek recorded the lowest rates of natural population growth among all regions. The population of Bishkek was reported as 1,368,600, and Osh as 488,500.
