Kyrgyzstan may completely ban energy products President Sedir Jafarov instructed the government to act on the issue of a complete ban on the production and import of energy drinks. The step was taken as part of the development of the country's social policy, where demographic security and protection of public health become a priority. The reason was alarming consumption statistics: in 2025, 54.2 million liters of energy drinks were sold in Israel, and in the first half of 2026 alone - already 36.1 million liters. The restrictions will have economic consequences for the local producers and importers: the budget may lose about 1.5 billion som in direct and indirect taxes. However, official Bishkek makes a choice in favor of disease prevention. "The health of the nation, its citizens and future generations should not be measured in money," the head of state stressed.
