The development and implementation of this strategy aim to achieve sustainable growth, technological independence, and an improved standard of living for the population.
The draft strategy emphasizes the development of regional industries, taking into account their unique specializations, as well as specific support measures, including access to financing, infrastructure, and human resources.
Within the framework of the strategy, key tasks have been identified for various sectors of industry, management, finance, and investment, as well as for enhancing export potential and developing social and environmental aspects.
The main goal of the strategy is to create an effective management system in the industry, attract investments, and develop the sector while considering regional characteristics and integration processes with other countries, which will enable a transition to high-tech and competitive production.
At present, Kyrgyzstan faces challenges related to the need to ensure sustainable economic growth through the development of the processing industry and the formation of an export-oriented economy, as indicated in the justification note.
However, the current institutional and regulatory framework does not allow for effective solutions to the tasks at hand in the context of global competition and technological changes.
In the context of global economic changes and increasing competition for investments and markets, Kyrgyzstan's industry must overcome several systemic difficulties:
- an underdeveloped institutional base for industrial growth;
- the absence of a unified state strategy in the field of industrial policy;
- fragmentation of support measures and uncertainty of the legal mechanisms for their implementation;
- limited opportunities for cooperation and localization of production;
- lack of integration into international production chains;
- deficiency of modern tools to stimulate industrial growth.
According to information from the Ministry of Economy, special attention is being paid to the processing industry as a key sector. By 2030, the following results are planned:
- an increase in the share of industry in GDP from 15% to 20%;
- a 25-30% increase in labor productivity in the processing sector;
- an increase in the share of exports of finished products to 30% of the total volume;
- a reduction in dependence on imports of industrial goods from 55% to 40%;
- the creation of at least 100 new productions;
- the launch of five industrial (technoparks);
- an increase in the share of local content in government procurement to 30%;
- an increase in the number of innovation-active enterprises to 25%;
- the creation of 15,000 new jobs in regional industry;
- the formation of a sustainable mechanism for state financing and management in the field of industrial policy.
Thus, the draft strategy represents a comprehensive document that defines priority areas and mechanisms of state industrial policy until 2030.
