In his speech at the city council meeting in Osh held in 2025, the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, Adylbek Kasymaliev, announced record funding allocated to the city from the republican budget. He noted that this year, Osh received 6.6 billion soms, which is the largest amount among all cities in the country. While Tokmok and Kara-Balta were allocated 1 billion soms each, Osh significantly exceeds these figures.
Kasymaliev also reported on the results of 2025: 9 educational institutions were renovated in Osh, 7 sports facilities and 2 cultural institutions were built. From the Stabilization Fund, 2.2 billion soms were allocated, of which 2 billion went to the repair of 8 key streets, and 200 million for the construction of sidewalks and greening.
The head of the cabinet added that funds were also allocated for the purchase of special equipment. He emphasized the need for local authorities to use the budget effectively and the importance of dialogue with the population to address pressing issues.
However, according to him, Osh showed the lowest level of foreign investment attraction in 2025, amounting to only 1.2 million US dollars from January to September. This figure is 44.1% lower compared to the previous year, indicating existing problems in the city's investment climate.
"It is necessary to exercise caution in interactions with business, it is unacceptable to create excessive inspections and unfounded claims, as well as intimidation and illegal seizures of property," he added.
Among the instructions given to local leaders, Kasymaliev noted the urgent need to develop and approve the General Plan for the city, expand the revenue base of the local budget, and focus on the quality implementation of infrastructure projects and attracting investments in the tourism sector.
In conclusion of his speech, he highlighted the successes achieved in 2025 due to the implementation of a number of projects that significantly transformed the city.
Kasymaliev also emphasized the importance of unity and consensus for the further successful work of the country.
