Amid a sharp rise in meat prices, which has become a serious social issue, the Bishkek City Hall, together with the Antimonopoly Service, has strengthened oversight of the capital’s food markets. These measures are being implemented in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic dated August 7, 2025, and the order of the Bishkek Branch of the Antimonopoly Service dated August 14, 2025, “On the Introduction of Temporary State Regulation of Meat Prices (beef and mutton, excluding boneless).”

On November 20, 2025, the Bishkek City Hall and the Antimonopoly Service conducted joint inspections at the Alamedin and Osh markets, led by First Deputy Mayor M. K. Baygonchokov and Deputy Head of the Antimonopoly Service M. Imankulov.

The inspections involved staff from the Bishkek branch of the Antimonopoly Service, veterinary service representatives, sanitary-epidemiological supervision officers, as well as first deputies of the Sverdlovsk and Leninsky district administrations.

During the inspection, entrepreneurs were reminded of the need to strictly comply with legislation and the established price limits for meat (excluding boneless). It was also emphasized that unjustified price increases would result in liability under the current laws of the Kyrgyz Republic.

Additionally, the Bishkek City Hall organized an extra social point at the Osh market to sell meat at a reduced price—not exceeding 660 soms per kilogram—to improve accessibility for residents.

The Bishkek City Hall and the Antimonopoly Service will continue coordinated efforts to stabilize prices for socially significant food products. Monitoring and explanatory activities will be carried out on an ongoing basis.
