  • The Kyrgyz Republic: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report
    The Kyrgyz Republic: Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development Strategy Report The Asian Development Bank has been supporting efforts to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries. A major focus of these efforts is improving the transport and trade sectors to spur economic growth and promote social and political cohesion within the region. Improving the efficiency of the CAREC transport corridors will allow these landlocked countries to take full advantage of being transit countries between the surging and dynamic economies of the East and the West. This report, one of a series of nine reports, highlights the substantial challenges that The Kyrgyz Republic needs to overcome and recommends measures to make its transport and The Kyrgyz Republic trade sectors more efficient and cost-competitive. Trade Facilitation and Logistics Development About the Asian Development Bank Strategy Report ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries substantially reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

  • 1. the Kyrgyz Republic Remains Dependent on Agriculture. The
    Kyrgyz Republic WT/TPR/S/170 Page 83 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) INTRODUCTION 1. The Kyrgyz Republic remains dependent on agriculture. The sector has rebounded substantially since shrinking in the early stages of transition, but its relative importance has declined. Agricultural products, especially cotton, tobacco, fruit, vegetables, and foodstuffs, account for some 10% of exports. Services have expanded, fuelled mainly by wholesale and retail trade, and transport and communications. Hydro-electricity generation is a major activity, but exports have declined despite substantial untapped potential that the Government is keen to exploit, including by attracting foreign investment. The other mainstay of the economy, gold processing, by far the main industrial activity, usually accounts for around 40% of exports. Expanding mining and processing is a major government goal, especially given the expected closure of the Kumtor gold mine within the next ten years. While the largely privatized, non-gold-mining manufacturing sector has successful export segments, it was hard hit by transition, and has generally under-performed. Manufacturing is widely dispersed across many small activities, and relies on low-valued added agri-processing (which still has significant state-owned companies), machinery and equipment, and non-metallic products, such as glass and light bulbs. A government priority is to revitalize the textiles industry. 2. GDP compositional changes reflect the substantial ongoing restructuring of the economy, largely in response to the comprehensive trade and other economic reforms undertaken for transition to a market economy. Opening the economy to foreign trade and investment were central to these reforms, and the economy is one of the most open in the region.
