Summary of the Joint Economic Assessment: Reconciliation, Recovery and Reconstruction in the Kyrgyz Republic

Core Content

The Joint Economic Assessment (JEA) was conducted in response to the political and social turmoil in the Kyrgyz Republic in April and June 2010, which had significant economic and social consequences. The assessment was carried out by a coalition of international organizations including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, Eurasian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), European Commission (EC), International Finance Corporation (IFC), and the United Nations (UN). The report outlines the economic and social impact of these events, identifies key financing needs, and proposes a strategy for reconciliation, recovery, and reconstruction.

Main Findings

Economic Impact

• GDP Contraction: The Kyrgyz economy was projected to contract by 3.5% in 2010, compared to a pre-crisis growth of 4.5%.
• Per Capita Income Drop: GDP per capita fell from $943 to $826 in 2010, reflecting a significant loss in economic output.
• Private Sector Weakening: Private sector confidence declined, leading to reduced investment and liquidity contraction in the banking system.
• Foreign Investment Decline: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) dropped from $248 million to $144 million in 2010.
• Public Finances Under Stress: The fiscal balance deteriorated from -8.1% of GDP in 2009 to -14.9% of GDP in 2010, with a budget financing gap of $335 million in 2010.
• Current Account Deficit: The current account balance worsened from -15.2% of GDP pre-crisis to -6.6% of GDP in 2010.
• Reserve Levels: Gross reserves increased, but the country still needed to maintain 4.4 months of imports in 2011.

Social Impact

• Displacement: Over 375,000 people were displaced, with 75,000 still internally displaced by mid-July 2010.
• Humanitarian Needs: A significant humanitarian burden emerged, including the need for shelter, durable housing, food, security, and livelihood restoration.
• Refugees: An estimated 75,000 refugees fled to Uzbekistan following the violence in June 2010.
• Social Reconciliation: Social reconciliation and peace-building efforts are critical to prevent further ethnic tensions and ensure equitable support for affected populations.

Infrastructure Damage

• Physical Damage: Public buildings and private commercial enterprises were damaged or destroyed, disrupting government services and economic activity.
• Key Sectors Affected: Infrastructure sectors such as energy, transport, and housing faced severe damage, with the energy sector particularly vulnerable to winter shortages.
• Financing Needs: The JEA estimated $350 million in infrastructure support was required, with $334 million allocated to social sector needs, including the UN Flash Appeal.

Financing Requirements

• Total External Financing Need: Estimated at $1 billion over 30 months.
• Immediate Needs: $671 million was required in the next six months, with $335 million for the budget and $336 million for other programs.
• Long-Term Needs: Estimated at $227 million in 2011 and $102 million in 2012, excluding budget support which depends on the new government’s plans.

Government Response

• Fiscal Relaxation: The government relaxed its fiscal stance to counter the economic shocks.
• Damage Assessment: A systematic assessment of damage and losses was initiated, with support from the Commission for the Assessment of Damages in the South.
• Reconciliation Strategy: A strategy for reconciliation, recovery, and reconstruction was outlined, emphasizing governance reform, social protection, and critical investments.

Key Priorities

• Infrastructure Investment: Rebuilding energy and transport sectors is crucial for long-term economic security and stability.
• Private Sector Engagement: Strengthening the business environment and private sector development is necessary to restore economic activity and promote sustainable growth.

Risks and Mitigation

• Risks to Recovery: Weak governance, lack of accountability, and ongoing ethnic tensions pose risks to the recovery process.
• Mitigation Strategies: Sustained international technical support is needed for design, implementation, monitoring, and financial management of recovery programs.
• Government Capacity: While the government has the capacity to implement the program, improvements in public financial management and fiduciary safeguards are necessary to ensure transparency and efficiency.

Conclusion

• The JEA highlights the urgent need for international support to address the economic and social consequences of the April and June 2010 events.
• A coherent and integrated approach to recovery is required, focusing on social reconciliation, housing, livelihood restoration, and critical infrastructure.
