During the last few years, the economy of Kyrgyzstan has grown due to the significant increase in gold exports and trade with the neighbouring countries. Although the economic recession in Russia led to a decline in the demand for Kyrgyz goods, which caused a reduction in non-gold exports of the country in 2015, economic growth rate increased from 3.6% in 2014 to 7.3% in 2015. Especially the structural reforms and the public investment program implemented by the Kyrgyz Government have signifi- cantly contributed to the high performance of economic growth.
