Kyrgyzstan presented its investment potential at a regional session dedicated to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, under the international initiative "Boosting Exports through FDI in Central Asia."
The initiative is being implemented by the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) in collaboration with the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), supported by the Trade Connect Central Asia+ (TCCA+) program.
Damirbek Bikulov, Deputy Head of the National Investment Agency under the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, participated on behalf of Kyrgyzstan and made a presentation on the country's investment potential.
It was noted that Central Asia is solidifying its position as a promising region for international investments. The volume of announced greenfield investments directed to the region increased from 12 billion USD in 2022 to over 27 billion USD in 2025.
Damirbek Bikulov highlighted the potential for attracting investments in sectors such as energy, renewable energy sources, industry, transport and logistics, agriculture and processing, tourism, infrastructure, and digital technologies.
Participants discussed issues related to developing regional value chains, implementing joint projects, strengthening cross-border infrastructure, and expanding investors' access to the markets of Central Asian countries.
Additionally, special attention was given to the formation of an agreed regional approach to attracting foreign direct investment. This approach aims to expand investment cooperation and enhance Central Asia's role in international value chains.
