Afghanistan Invests $3.5 Million in Kyrgyzstan, Outpacing US

DID Press: Afghanistan’s foreign direct investment in Kyrgyzstan exceeded that of the United States during the first half of 2026, according to official figures released by Kyrgyzstan’s National Statistical Committee.

The figures show that Afghanistan invested approximately $3.5 million in Kyrgyzstan between January and June 2026, compared with around $1.5 million in direct investment from the United States. Afghanistan’s investment was therefore more than twice the US figure.

Reports indicate that Afghan investment in Kyrgyzstan increased by approximately 59 percent compared with the same period last year. The figure was also reported to be higher than the combined investment from South Korea and Japan.
