The purpose of this paper is to study the convergence of regions in the Kyrgyz Republic based on wages and gross regional income per capita to calculate regional inequality dynamics and forecast the period of regional development convergence. Two main approaches are used in economics to study regional development trends: beta and sigma convergence. Their analysis allows us to determine the characteristics of regional inequality and identify factors that reduce differentiation. Calculations of the beta and sigma convergence of gross regional product per capita by region in Kyrgyzstan allowed us to forecast their annual convergence of more than 12%, which, if current trends continue, will ensure complete convergence between these regions over the next nine years. Meanwhile, the annual convergence in wages is approximately 5%, and if these trends continue, convergence in wage levels between regions will occur over the next 20 years. The results of beta and sigma convergence calculations can serve as a tool for effective regional policy, allowing responsible government bodies to develop specific measures aimed at reducing regional inequality in selected macroeconomic development indicators.
