The forum, organized by the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic in collaboration with the Council for Business and Investment Development, gathered over 400 participants, including entrepreneurs, investors, representatives of government bodies, and international financial organizations from various regions of the country. Participants discussed key aspects of investment policy, investor rights protection, and improving dialogue between the state and business.
During the panel session, Rustam Baltabaev, Executive Director of the Association for the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Kyrgyz Republic, emphasized that creating an attractive investment climate depends on practical conditions such as the speed of procedures, predictability of regulation, and effective project support.
It was also noted that business associations can play an important role as institutional partners of the state by providing feedback and facilitating the implementation of investment initiatives, including those at the regional level. In this regard, the business community proposed to strengthen the influence of associations in investment policy and elevate the status of the Council for Business and Investment Development to the level of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, thereby creating a permanent platform for strategic dialogue with investors.
Forum participants unanimously concluded that to improve the investment climate in Kyrgyzstan, organized and predictable interaction between the state and business is necessary, with clear mechanisms for accountability and the implementation of decisions made.
