Industrial production in Kyrgyzstan climbed 13.1% year-on-year in February 2026 from 12.7% in the previous month. This marked the strongest expansion in industrial activity since May, driven by higher output in mining and quarrying (52.8% vs 37.7%) and manufacturing (12.9% vs 12.0% in January), particularly in food products and tobacco, textiles, clothing, and leather, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, machinery and equipment, and vehicles. Water supply also rose by 14.8% from 13.8% previously. Meanwhile, electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply declined by 14.6%, reversing sharply from a 0.7% increase. For the January-February 2026 period, industrial activity was 15.5% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
