Investment inflow rate to Kyrgyzstan is positive, Prime Minister believes

At the same time, the head of government stressed the importance of intensifying work on creation of favorable conditions for investment activities, a characteristic feature of which is an open, transparent and non-discriminatory investment policy.
"Despite the two-year moratorium on inspections of business entities, there are facts of such business inspections. I urge businessmen and investors to report on similar facts to the relevant state bodies, to the supervising deputy prime minister for the protection of your rights. We must continue to work to support entrepreneurs, to take further measures to stimulate inflow and to support investments, improve effective management of state property and develop public-private partnerships," Mukhammedkaly Abylgaziev stressed.
The head of government instructed relevant government agencies to qualitatively work out and implement investment projects, assist and promptly solve problems that would increase investor confidence in the government and have a positive impact on the image of the state.
