The Investment Council under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic is a vital platform that ensures effective collaboration between the government and businesses. Since its establishment in 2007, the Council has actively contributed to improving the business environment, enhancing the investment climate, and developing public-private partnerships, which in turn has accelerated the country’s socio-economic development.

The primary goals of the Council include creating favorable conditions for business development, improving the investment climate, establishing mechanisms for protecting and supporting business entities, and coordinating the efforts of stakeholders in the development of public-private partnerships.

The Council consists of representatives from government bodies, business associations, and donor organizations. The Secretariat of the Investment Council, with the support of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), coordinates the Council’s work, ensuring close collaboration with the Presidential Administration and other government agencies.

Additionally, with the support of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Center for Public-Private Partnerships, and other donors and state institutions, Regional Investment Councils are being actively launched. These Councils play a crucial role in creating a favorable investment climate in the regions, attracting investors, and implementing key projects.
