Abstract

Kyrgyzstan is one of the poorer countries undergoing transition from a centrally planned to a market economy. Unlike its neighbour Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan followed a rather radical reform strategy, introduced liberal macroeconomic reforms and large-scale privatization. Having laid major foundations for a market economy these reforms have entailed high social costs and profound changes from largely egalitarian social structures to greater inequality and social stratification.
