The Law of the Kyrgyz Republic No. 152, passed on November 6, 2026, introduces changes to the Labor Code to ensure that wages are indexed in connection with the rising consumer prices for goods and services.
How indexation will work
The amendment adds part 9 to Article 91 of the Labor Code. While the law mandates the principle of indexation, it does not establish a mandatory amount for the pay increase. For private companies and other organizations not funded by the republican or local budgets, the specific size, timing, and frequency of indexation are determined by collective agreements, individual agreements, or local normative acts.
It is important to note that indexation is calculated based on the base salary before deductions. The final amount received by employees will still depend on taxes, contributions, and other withholdings.
Implementation and timeline
The law enters into force ten days after its official publication. Since the law does not set a universal date for the first pay increase, the timing depends on the specific internal rules of each employer.
