Compare presidents

Presidential terms differ in length and in data coverage, so every figure comes with the years it is built on and with caveats. Money is best compared as % of GDP: som and dollar amounts are nominal, not adjusted for inflation (the som exchange rate also affects dollar amounts). There is no overall ranking — only comparable indicators and their sources.

Housing completed, per 10,000 residents per year: Akayev (1991–2004) — 1.12 thousand m² per 10,000 residents; Jeenbekov (2018–2020) — 1.9 thousand m² per 10,000 residents; Japarov (2021–2025) — 2.18 thousand m² per 10,000 residents.

Data as of October 6, 2026

Three terms are selected, which is the maximum. To add another president, remove one of the selected.

All indicators for the term

Results of the selected terms across every comparison indicator on one screen: debt, economy, budget, living standards, social facilities, infrastructure. Each row has its default measure (yearly average, % of GDP, rate or end-of-term stock) and links to the detailed comparison with caveats.

There is no overall ranking: indicators of different kinds do not add up to one score. For the current term the table marks the change on the previous term with data (on the same basis) and, where it applies, that the value is the highest or lowest among the terms. Colour shows the direction that is desirable for the indicator, not a judgement of the president. “No data” and “series does not cover this term” are not zero.
