The Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) has unveiled its macroeconomic forecast for partner countries, projecting increased business activity and industrial growth over the next three years. Investment portfolios are expanding with large-scale infrastructure projects across Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states, fostering international cooperation between public and private sectors.

At forums held in Almaty, EDB Chairman Nikolay Podguzov highlighted the bank’s achievements in 2024, including $2.3 billion in new investments and a $135 million net profit. Key sectors include energy, agriculture, transportation, and logistics, with Kyrgyzstan receiving $266 million for projects like a 300 MW solar power plant in Issyk-Kul.

EDB’s regional forecast emphasizes Central Asia’s emergence as a hub for global investment, driven by water management, transportation development, and renewable energy projects. In Kyrgyzstan, high investment activity in water supply, energy, and infrastructure will continue to boost economic growth, with inflation predicted to stabilize at 5–7% over the next three years.
