Direct investment in Kyrgyzstan grew by more than 140%

Prime Minister Adylbek Kasymaliyev spoke at the Investment Vector: State and Business forum, where he emphasized that Kyrgyzstan has demonstrated one of the most significant leaps in attracting investment in recent decades.

According to Kasymaliyev, the average annual volume of direct investment in 2021-2024 has increased by more than 140% compared to the period from 1995 to 2020. This indicates a qualitative change in the country's investment climate. He emphasized that this growth was made possible by targeted reforms, increased transparency, and improved business conditions.

The head of the cabinet recalled that over the past five years, Kyrgyzstan's GDP has almost tripled, and in the first 11 months of this year, the economy showed growth of 10.2%. He noted that investment is now a key resource for ensuring the country's sustainable development and economic stability.

“Time is an investor's main asset, and internal stability is a key factor in the success of the state and business. We are seeing a steady increase in interest in Kyrgyzstan, which confirms the republic's emergence as an attractive investment destination,” Kasymaliyev said.

He also named the industries that the government considers strategic for capital inflows:

  • hydropower;
  • logistics;
  • agriculture;
  • mining;
  • IT sector;
  • halal industry;
  • tourism;
  • pharmaceuticals.

Particular attention was paid to the recent presidential decree on raising the status and strengthening the role of the National Investment Agency. According to Kasymaliyev, this document “should give new impetus to the promotion of investment projects and strengthen the coordination of efforts to attract capital.”

In conclusion, he stressed that sustainable economic growth is only possible with close cooperation between the state and business.

“We expect promising initiatives from you. Only through joint efforts can we lay the foundation for a competitive economy of the future,” the head of the cabinet concluded.
