The World Bank in the Kyrgyz Republic

The Kyrgyz Republic is a land-locked, lower-middle-income country. It has rich endowments, including minerals, forests, arable land, pastures, and has significant potential for the expansion of its hydroelectricity production, agriculture sector, and tourism industry. The Kyrgyz economy is heavily dependent on remittances, gold production and foreign aid and as a result has been vulnerable to external shocks.
