«Access to low-cost resources, including low-cost labor and electricity, provides benefits for joint ventures. Electricity tariffs are the lowest among the CIS countries. Public-private partnership tools are actively promoted. Significant tax preferences for investors implementing regional projects in industry are provided. The ongoing judicial and legal reform will provide more reliable guarantees of property rights and the observance of contract law,» the head of state said.
He added that Kyrgyzstan was attractive in the field of tourism. «We have a large number of nature reserves, biosphere zones and resort facilities. We have unique opportunities for climbers, skiers, hunters and tourists, explorers of historical monuments of the Great Silk Road. Kyrgyzstan was one of the first in the region to unilaterally introduce a visa-free regime with 52 developed countries of the world,» Sooronbai Jeenbekov added.
