The Russian-Kyrgyz Development Fund resumed project financing from July 1. The press service of the RKDF reports.
The decision was made following the meeting of the Chairman of the Board of the RKDF Artem Novikov with the Chairman of the Fund’s Council, Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia Timur Maksimov in Moscow. It is a consequence of the agreements reached during the negotiations between the Presidents of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov and Russia Vladimir Putin.
«Artem Novikov told the Chairman of the Fund’s Council about the current work on modernization of the RKDF, strengthening the principles of corporate governance, preparing new projects and programs to support entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan through the tools of the RKDF,» the message says.
Timur Maksimov noted stabilization of the political situation in Kyrgyzstan and significant progress in implementation of agreements to improve the activities of the RKDF in recent months.
Given the stabilization of the political situation, I consider it possible to resume the approval and granting of new loans by the RKDF under the direct financing program.
