Sewing enterprises in Kyrgyzstan have started receiving interest-free loans
During her visit to one of the key sewing enterprises in Bishkek, the Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic, Benazir Nurlanova, got acquainted with the production processes. She reported on the positive changes in the domestic sewing industry, which is gradually recovering from serious difficulties caused by external factors in the autumn of 2025. Nurlanova noted that the government is taking active support measures and that the issues of developing the light industry are under the attention of the president.

The effectiveness of the operational headquarters, which is addressing problems in this area, was also emphasized. Entrepreneurs can now take advantage of the interest-free loan program and experience the benefits of significant tax and administrative privileges. The income tax rate in the industry at 1% will be in effect until January 1, 2030, and insurance contributions have been significantly reduced. This has led to a decrease in the overall tax burden on workers from 9,500–9,800 soms to 2,555 soms. Additionally, until the end of 2026, there is a moratorium on raid tax inspections and control over cash register machines in the country.

The Deputy Minister emphasized that legally operating enterprises successfully export their products and gain access to preferential financing. The Ministry of Economy and Commerce organizes training events and provides practical support to producers at all stages of bringing goods to foreign markets.

At the end of the visit, Nurlanova announced plans to legalize sewing workshops that previously operated in the shadow sector. The Ministry of Economy and Commerce intends to continue working on relevant issues in the light industry to ensure its sustainable growth.
