KFB is negotiating with Nasdaq on companies' entry into global markets

The Second B5+1 Business Forum, a key international platform for strengthening economic ties between Central Asian countries and the United States, is taking place in Bishkek. Aida Chodulova, Acting Director General of the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange (KSE), is participating in the forum.

The Exchange's participation in the B5+1 forum is reinforced by an important event that took place the day before. On 3 February 2026, as part of the B5+1 forum, the KSE management met with Dmitry Zelentsov, Director of Sales and Solutions at Nasdaq. During the talks, the parties discussed opportunities for exchanging advanced international experience and knowledge in the field of regulatory technologies (RegTech), as well as the development of capital markets, including best international practices related to the preparation and conduct of initial public offerings (IPOs) of companies (issuers) from the Kyrgyz Republic, including potential listings on international trading platforms such as Nasdaq.

In the future, the parties plan to explore the possibility of implementing comprehensive RegTech solutions, which are widely used by financial institutions and regulatory authorities around the world. The parties agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding.

"Cooperation with Nasdaq is a clear signal that our market is ready to operate according to international standards. We are building a reliable investment bridge between Central Asia and global capital markets. The forum gives us an opportunity to confirm to our US partners that Kyrgyzstan is forming a modern and transparent ecosystem for the development of stock, commodity and currency markets, creating new opportunities for international business and investors", — said Aida Chodulova, Acting CEO of the KSE.

The forum in Bishkek is a practical continuation of the agreements reached at the summit in Washington in November 2025. The B5+1 platform serves as a business analogue of the B5+1 diplomatic format and aims to create an open and investment-attractive market in Central Asia. Within the framework of the B5+1, the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange acts as the main instrument for capital inflows and the creation of a transparent market in Central Asia.
