The deputy also clarified which specific sectors these funds are directed towards.
"Are there Italian citizens who have opened businesses by investing in Kyrgyzstan?" he asked.
The Deputy Head of the National Investment Agency replied that there are small investors, such as those who have opened cafes and similar establishments in Italy.
He added that work is currently underway to organize the export of products from Kyrgyzstan.
These questions were raised in the context of discussing the draft Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Ratification of the Agreement between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Italian Republic on the Promotion and Protection of Investments," signed on May 30, 2025, in Astana.
