Mutual trade between Central Asian countries reaches $8.1 billion in 7 months
In January–July 2026, the volume of mutual trade between Central Asian states increased by 25.4% compared to the same period in 2025, reaching $8.1 billion, the Center for Economic Research and Reforms reported.
The intraregional trade indicator was calculated as the sum of each country's export supplies to other states in the region in order to avoid double counting.
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan accounted for more than 80% of mutual exports. Kazakhstan supplied goods worth $4.537 billion to countries in the region (55.9% of the total mutual exports), while Uzbekistan supplied $2.003 billion (24.7%). Turkmenistan's supplies stood at $844 million, Kyrgyzstan's at $523 million, and Tajikistan's at $209 million.
The share of trade with Central Asian countries in the total foreign trade turnover of each state amounted to 19.9% for Kyrgyzstan, 17.6% for Tajikistan, 10.9% for Uzbekistan, and 6.7% for Kazakhstan.
