At the end of 2024, average monthly wages increased in all member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, but Kyrgyzstan remains in last place in terms of wages among the member countries.

Despite a 12.7% increase in nominal income compared to 2023, Kyrgyzstan's real wage growth rate, 107.3%, remains relatively low among EAEU countries. We are ahead of Kazakhstan (102.7%) and Armenia (106.1%), but lag behind Belarus with 113% and Russia with 109.1%.

And this is despite the fact that, according to the Eurasian Economic Commission, the average nominal salary in the country amounted to only $429. This is almost twice less than in Kazakhstan ($858) and more than twice lower than in Russia ($951).
