This idea was voiced at the forum "Investment Vector: State and Business," which took place the day before in Bishkek.
Rustam Baltabaev, Executive Director of the Association for the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex, noted that the investment climate is shaped not only by declarations but also by real conditions for doing business.
"An investor does not choose a country; they choose speed and predictability. Laws create the framework, but the key role is played by a quality dialogue between the government and the private sector," he emphasized.
To improve the investment situation, the business community of Kyrgyzstan proposed the following measures:
- to elevate the status of the Business Development Council by transferring it to the president's oversight;
- to implement a unified digital registry of investment barriers, indicating deadlines for their removal and responsible parties;
- to create a mechanism for the rapid escalation of problematic projects for the prompt resolution of disputes;
- to develop a system for supporting investors based on the "single window" principle with the participation of associations;
- to ensure mandatory participation of business associations in the development of regulatory solutions.
The business community believes that elevating the status of the relevant council will lead to a more qualitative and effective dialogue between business and authorities.
