Discussions were held on areas in logistics, energy, raw materials, and digital infrastructure.
Adylbek Kasyamaliev, the chairman of the cabinet of ministers, proposed that the sovereign investment fund of the UAE, known as the Emirates Investment Authority, explore the possibility of investing in the economy of Kyrgyzstan.
According to Kasyamaliev, the republic aims to attract foreign investments in the fields of transport and logistics infrastructure, energy sector, mineral resources, telecommunications, digital technologies, agribusiness, and food security.
“We strive to make Kyrgyzstan a key hub for manufacturing, logistics, and energy routes between China, Central Asia, and the Middle East,” he emphasized.
Additionally, Kasyamaliev noted that the country's economy has shown stable growth over the past four years, and forecasts suggest that by 2025, GDP will increase by 11%, which is one of the best indicators within the EAEU. Sovereign credit ratings have also improved, and revenues from taxes and customs duties have increased.
The head of the government invited representatives of the fund to participate in an investment forum, which will take place in Bishkek in April, titled “Cooperation Council of Arab Gulf States – Central Asia.”
The Emirates Investment Authority expressed its readiness to continue discussions and develop specific investment proposals.
