What the data says about Kyrgyz Republic
Kyrgyz Republic is a lower-middle-income economy, a tier where a large share of economic activity often sits outside formally measured, monetized markets, so official statistics can understate real living standards more than the headline dollar figures suggest. With a comparatively small population, a single survey round or a change in methodology can shift Kyrgyz Republic's reported figures noticeably from one release to the next, independent of any real change on the ground. Where a field on this page reads "N/A," it usually means the relevant agency has not yet published a recent estimate for Kyrgyz Republic.
Kyrgyz Republic lands in the lower third of GDP/cap (#167 of 214) - LMC · LONG - so national averages need rural/urban caution.
Kyrgyz Republic's 7.2 million people and $18.2 billion GDP (136th) yield $2,515 per person in the lower GDP/cap third. Life expectancy 72.4 years (133rd, LONG) and survey lag both matter when reading single-year cells. 42 official points sit in the tables.
