According to the ministry's explanatory note to the revised national budget draft, the subsidy plan for 2026 is being substantially revised. The previously approved budget provided for 589.0 million som in subsidies, which were to be used to subsidize interest rates under concessional lending programs, primarily for the agricultural sector.
Redistribution of funds in the revised budget draft
In the new draft, the Finance Ministry plans to allocate 18.9 billion som for subsidies. A significant portion of these funds will be earmarked for stabilizing the fuel market.
Subsidy allocations
In particular, 11.4 billion som has been reserved to subsidize fuel importers with the aim of "stabilizing the domestic fuel market." In addition, funds are earmarked to compensate heat supply companies for losses. Bishkekteploset has been allocated 4.9 billion som to cover uncovered losses related to the generation and sale of thermal energy for heating and hot water supply under the state tariff policy. OshTeploEnergo will also receive almost 290 million som for the same reason.
