Summary

This paper revisits the potential output of the Kyrgyz Republic considering recent structural shifts and external shocks, including the pandemic and the regional conflict. Utilizing a suite of methodologies – production function, state-space models, and statistical filters – it estimates potential output growth at 5.3 percent, up from around 4.4 percent prior to the pandemic. This increase is primarily driven by capital accumulation and labor force expansion. However, total factor productivity remains below historical averages. The persistently positive output gap points to overheating risks, underscoring the need for counter-cyclical policies and structural reforms.
