- Implementing alternative preventive measures (electronic monitoring, bail, house arrest) for entrepreneurs, as provided by the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, to protect entrepreneurs from unjustified pre-trial detention.
Previously, this issue was also considered by the expert working group on improving the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic, which regulates the issues of attracting investments, including foreign ones, developing tourism, aviation, the licensing system, and eliminating excessive control functions of state bodies. The Secretariat of the Investment Council under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic is part of this expert group.
These changes are aimed at creating favorable conditions for businesses and investors, as well as improving the investment climate in the country.
