This month, a clear trend towards strengthening digital control in trade operations has emerged, alongside significant concessions provided to exporters by the authorities.
One of the key changes in logistics has been the introduction of mandatory electronic navigation seals. Starting from February 11, the transportation of alcohol and tobacco will come under strict digital control, with seals tracking the route of goods within the EAEU. Additionally, a pilot project for monitoring the supply of timber from Russia to Kyrgyzstan began on February 1, which is expected to enhance transparency in the construction materials market.
For entrepreneurs engaged in exports, the government has offered unprecedented tax relief: the unified tax rate for operations outside the country has been reduced from 1% to 0.1%. At the same time, the Ministry of Economy is conducting a "revision" in the field of professional services until February 18, collecting information to update the state register of appraisers and appraisal organizations.
As for ordinary citizens, temporary benefits have been granted to taxi owners: the deadline for mandatory licensing of transportation has been extended until July 1, 2026. In the financial sector, however, a conservative approach remains, as the National Bank has extended restrictions on currency exchange operations until August 1 of this year to support stability in the domestic monetary market.
