The Investment Council Secretariat continues its mission of strengthening public-private dialogue and fostering a more transparent and informed business environment in Kyrgyzstan. From March 25 to April 16, the Business Enlightenment Caravan will travel across the country, engaging with entrepreneurs, employers, and local communities to provide clear guidance on new regulations, state policies, and investment opportunities.

This initiative is designed to bridge the information gap between businesses and government institutions, ensuring that entrepreneurs and professionals have access to accurate legal and regulatory updates. Participants will gain insights into recent amendments in tax legislation and the Labor Code, state support measures for businesses, and local government initiatives aimed at improving the business climate. Additionally, the Caravan will highlight new opportunities in the tourism sector and regional economic development programs.

The Caravan will host panel discussions, interactive Q&A sessions, and individual consultations with representatives from key government agencies and industry experts. Topics covered include:

• Tax legislation updates – new tax rates, incentives, reporting requirements, and compliance measures.
• Labor Code amendments – employment contracts, workers’ rights, and updated labor conditions.
• Prosecutorial oversight – business rights protection and dispute resolution between employers and employees.
• State support measures for entrepreneurs and investors.
• Local government strategies to improve the business environment.
• New tourism opportunities and regional development initiatives.

By fostering direct dialogue between businesses and government representatives, the Caravan aims to increase legal literacy among entrepreneurs, minimize regulatory compliance risks, and strengthen trust between the private sector and government institutions.
