On October 30, 2025, the National Investment Dialogue was held in Bishkek, organized by the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic with the participation of the Office of the Prosecutor General, representatives of key business associations — members of the Council on Business and Investment Development under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, and the Council Secretariat.
The event served as an open platform for discussing the country’s investment policy priorities, mechanisms for investor protection, and ways to strengthen mutual trust between public institutions and the business community.
During the dialogue, business representatives shared their perspectives and proposals aimed at further improving the investment and regulatory environment in the Kyrgyz Republic.
One of the key discussion points was the importance of predictable and stable rules for investors. Participants emphasized the need for a clear, long-term approach by the government that ensures policy consistency and confidence in regulatory stability. In this regard, the idea of developing a National Strategy for Investment and Regulatory Policy until 2030 was supported.
Special attention was given to the protection of property rights and access to production sites, which remain important factors for attracting long-term investment. Participants noted that a reliable legal foundation and predictability in law enforcement are crucial for investor confidence.
The dialogue also addressed issues of law enforcement and response to business appeals, emphasizing the need to strengthen cooperation between supervisory authorities and entrepreneurs to ensure timely and transparent resolution of disputes.
Industry representatives highlighted the importance of industrial and export-oriented sectors as key drivers of sustainable economic growth and called for further support of these industries.
Business associations proposed establishing a permanent working group on investment and regulatory policy with the participation of government bodies, the Office of the Prosecutor General, the National Investment Agency, and the Council Secretariat. This platform would enable regular exchange of views and development of joint recommendations to improve the investment climate.
A key outcome of the meeting was the signing of a Tripartite Memorandum of Cooperation between the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, the Office of the Prosecutor General, and business associations.
According to the business community, the National Investment Dialogue demonstrated a constructive and partnership-based approach between the public and private sectors. The participants reaffirmed their commitment to continue working together to enhance investment attractiveness and strengthen confidence in the Kyrgyz Republic’s economy.
