Kyrgyz Republic At-A-Glance

The Kyrgyz Republic is a land-locked, lower-middle-income country of 6 million people with rich endowments in agriculture, hydropower, and tourism. The Kyrgyz economy is vulnerable to external shocks owing to its reliance on one gold mine, Kumtor, which accounts for about 10% of GDP, and on worker remittances.
