Talks between First Deputy Prime Minister Daniyar Amangeldiev and representatives of major American corporations took place in Bishkek, Economist.kg eports.
The meeting took place at a critical time for the country: while Bishkek presents itself as a stable platform for Western capital, Brussels is discussing adding Kyrgyzstan to a "blacklist" of countries facilitating the circumvention of anti-Russian sanctions.
Kyrgyzstan is offering US investors participation in projects that are changing the region's economic geography. The main lot was the Kambar-Ata Hydroelectric Power Plant-1, a megaproject designed to ensure energy independence and export potential for Central Asia.
Amangeldiev cited the following arguments as guarantees of reliability:
S&P Rating: In 2025, the agency affirmed the Kyrgyz Republic's sovereign credit rating at B+ with a stable outlook.
Tax incentives: The state guarantees favorable conditions for long-term investment in industry. Modernization: Active launch of infrastructure facilities as a driver of GDP growth.
Dialogue with American businesses is taking place against the backdrop of alarming news from Europe. As previously reported, the European Union is considering implementing a special anti-circumvention tool. This could lead to a ban on the export of European dual-use equipment and technologies to Kyrgyzstan.
For American companies, this creates a situation of uncertainty: on the one hand, Bishkek is demonstrating openness and reforms, but on the other, the risk of being subject to secondary Western sanctions for re-exporting goods to Russia remains extremely high.
