Japarov to raise pensions from January 1, 2027 — Cabinet submits draft for public discussion

Kyrgyzstan's Cabinet of Ministers has submitted for public discussion a draft resolution on raising pensions, allowances, and compensation payments to certain categories of citizens from January 1, 2027. The document was published on the Unified Portal for Public Discussion of Regulatory Legal Acts on October 28.

The draft was prepared by the Social Fund in implementation of a presidential decree by Sadyr Japarov dated October 21, 2026. According to the document, the increase will affect elderly citizens, people with disabilities, and certain categories of veterans.

Special compensation is provided for participants in the liquidation of consequences of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant accident and other atomic facilities. If the size of their pension exceeds 12,300 soms, the monthly supplement will be 1,000 soms. If the pension is below this amount, the compensation will be calculated as the difference between the actual payment and 12,300 soms, but no less than 1,000 soms.

Financing is provided from the republican budget. The explanatory note indicates that the required amount of funds has already been determined within the framework of implementing the presidential decree. After the resolution is adopted, the Social Fund will recalculate pensions and ensure payments in the new amounts.
