This paper examines the validity of twin deficits hypothesis (the relationship between the budget deficit and the current account deficit) using the quarterly data period 2000:1-2013:4 in Kyrgyzstan. Results show that there is a strong positive relationship between these two deficits. The regression analysis showed that the increase in the budget deficit by one dollar leads to an increase in current account deficit to $0.83. These results confirm the Keynesian view, which asserts the existence of twin deficits.

В данной статье обосновывается гипотеза двойного дефицита (взаимосвязь между дефицитом бюджета и дефицитом счета текущих операций), используя квартальный период данных за 2000-2013 гг. в Кыргызстане. Существует сильная положительная связь между этими двумя дефицитами. Регрессионный анализ показал, что увеличение дефицита бюджета на один доллар приводит к увеличению дефицита счета текущих операций до 0,83 долл. Эти результаты подтверждают кейнсианскую теорию о существовании двойного дефицита.
