Gross domestic product is projected to increase by 2.8% over 2025. This will be facilitated by increased investment in fixed capital, accelerated growth in the export of goods and services and real household income.
The decree also sets the targets for their implementation. It is planned that next year the amount of funding designated for investment purposes will see a 3.1% increase from all financing sources relative to the current year's level. The export of goods and services is forecast to increase by 3.7%, with the growth primarily coming from an increase in physical volume. To achieve this, it is planned to expand cooperation with anchor hubs in far-abroad countries and restore presence in traditional sales markets in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Focused efforts on qualitative development and building up export will enable a 4.8% increase in the real disposable household income.
The National Bank and the government have been tasked with keeping inflation under 7%.
The decree instructs the government to approve a plan for social and economic development for 2026, which will serve as the instrument for achieving these outlined targets.
