Speaking at the plenary session «Eurasia 2030: Investments, Growth and New Opportunities,» Podguzov noted that Kyrgyzstan has demonstrated economic growth above 10 percent for three consecutive years.

According to him, these indicators reflect strengthening domestic demand, growth in the construction and trade sectors, and increasing demand for infrastructure projects. This creates additional opportunities for investors and development institutions.

He added that projects supported by the bank are contributing to infrastructure development and industrial modernization in Kyrgyzstan. As an example, he mentioned the construction of the country’s largest solar power plant with a capacity of 300 megawatts, being implemented with EDB support.

At the annual meeting, a new strategy for 2027–2030 was also approved. Podguzov said it will mark a new stage in the bank’s development. In the upcoming period, investment priorities in Kyrgyzstan will focus on areas most critical for the country’s continued economic growth.
