"If something hurts in the body, it sends a signal, and the person reacts. The same applies to the economy: if businesses highlight a problem, it is better to listen. Otherwise, the consequences of delayed solutions may be different. That is why dialogue is a way of transmitting signals. In the human body, it’s the nerves; in the economy, it’s the entrepreneurs. This is why listening to businesses and responding to their concerns is so important."

The Head of the Secretariat and Secretary of the Investment Council under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, Uluk Kydyrbaev, gave an exclusive interview where he spoke about the significance of public-private dialogue and its impact on the investment climate and business environment.

We extend our gratitude to the Economist.kg team for their collaboration and this opportunity.

The Head of the Secretariat of the Investment Council under the Cabinet of Ministers, Uluk Kydyrbaev, the Director of the Association of Telecom Operators, Salavat Ormoshev, and the Director of the Dairy Union of Kyrgyzstan, Syimyk Taichabarov, participated in the program "The Main Issue" on Birinchi Radio. The program was hosted by Meerim Abdramanova. The discussion focused on the significance of interaction and dialogue between government agencies and the business community in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Additionally, the participants highlighted key issues raised during the business breakfast organized by the International Business Council (IBC) and emphasized the demand for open dialogues, such as the recent meeting with the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, A.A. Kasymaliev.

Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) is a key mechanism for ensuring balanced decisions that reflect the interests of both businesses and government entities. Strengthening PPD helps create a transparent and predictable business environment, accelerates the implementation of reforms, and enhances trust between entrepreneurs and government institutions.

A dialogue between government agencies and businesses, built on trust and partnership, plays a crucial role in shaping effective economic policies and attracting investments.
