ADB grants $700m loan for Kyrgyz Republic’s green projects

This will be rolled out until 2027.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has committed $700m to support the Kyrgyz Republic's national development goals from 2025 to 2027.

According to the bank, ADB President Masato Kanda and Kyrgyz Republic President Sadyr Japarov witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two parties. This outlines the plans for a new Financing Framework Arrangement for 2026–2027, along with agreements for three projects under the existing 2025 Financing Framework Arrangement supporting green transformation, disaster resilience, and affordable housing.

“Together, the 2025 arrangement and the planned 2026–2027 arrangement are expected to provide more than $700m in ADB financing to support the Kyrgyz Republic’s public investment priorities,” ADB said.

The three newly signed projects will improve energy efficiency and climate resilience in public buildings, strengthen water resource management and disaster preparedness, and expand access to affordable, energy-efficient housing and mortgage finance.
