The EBRD also released its growth forecast for Kyrgyzstan, which it predicts will experience a 7.0% growth this year and 7.2% next year. In the short term, the EBRD believes the economy will continue to benefit from expanded re-export opportunities, increased remittances from Russia, and the relocation of Russian companies, IT professionals, and entrepreneurs to Kyrgyzstan. Investments in significant energy and infrastructure projects, such as the Kambarata HPP-1 and the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, are expected to spur medium-term growth. However, the economy remains heavily reliant on remittances from Russia.
