Kyrgyzstan’s first-half cement imports double year-on-year in 2024

27 August 2024

Kyrgyzstan: 174,800t of cement entered Kyrgyzstan in the first half of 2024, more than double first-half 2023 import volumes of 83,200t. Neighbouring Kazakhstan supplied 152,000t (87%) of the total, according to data from the Kyrgyz National Statistical Committee. Central Asia News has reported that other imports originated from China, Iran and Uzbekistan.

Kyrgyzstan’s first-half cement production declined by 2% year-on-year in the period under review, to 1.3Mt. However, it grew by 10% year-on-year in June 2024. The country exported 190,000t of cement throughout the first half of 2024, all of it to Uzbekistan, down by 21% from first-half 2023 levels.

Russian government relaxes cement import rules

02 February 2022

Russia: The Federal Technical Regulation and Metrology Agency (Rosstandart) has relaxed import rules for cement originating from outside the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Under the new regulations the 28 day inspection period has been cut, according to InterFax. The Industry and Trade Ministry has taken the action to cope with a rise in cement consumption created by both government-backed infrastructure projects and domestic housing. It added that the Central Federal District experienced a shortage in the autumn of 2021 with associated price rises.

"We expect that the reduction of the procedure's duration may encourage importers of cement to increase the volume of its import into the country. And this, in turn, should in fact increase competition in the market and stabilise prices. This, I repeat, is the most important thing that needs to be achieved in the domestic building materials market for its balanced operation," said Deputy Industry and Trade Minister Viktor Yevtukhov.
