He noted that the current economic structure remains vulnerable due to low levels of diversification and high dependence on imports.
According to Muraliyev, the transition to a presidential system of governance has facilitated prompt decision-making and positive changes in recent years. However, as international analytics indicate, a slowdown in growth is expected, which requires new strategies.
Among the necessary actions, the former Prime Minister stated that Kyrgyzstan should:
- ensure greater economic freedom for entrepreneurs;
- reduce the high key interest rate of the National Bank to stimulate investments;
- carefully analyze external risks, including future cooperation with Russia after the end of the special military operation;
- increase export volumes, as the foreign trade balance remains negative.
“If we do not start assessing risks and do not identify priority sectors, we may face serious challenges tomorrow,” he warned.
Additionally, Muraliyev highlighted the importance of transferring Chinese experience, including the implementation of modern technologies and a focus on scientific and technological progress.
