- On August 12, 2025, the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic No. 198 "On Investments in the Kyrgyz Republic" came into effect. This law, as noted at a press conference in Bishkek on December 29, 2025, by the head of the National Investment Agency, Ravshanbek Sabirov, is aimed at improving the predictability of conditions for investors.

One of the main aspects of this legislation is the provision of guarantees for the protection of investments, especially in situations where the state decides to expropriate property for public needs. Sabirov emphasized that in such cases, investors should be ensured compensation based on assessments by independent experts. This, according to the agency, will help reduce risks and increase the level of trust when launching various projects, including the construction of tourist infrastructure.

In addition to this, the creation of a unified database and registry of investors is planned, which will make the process of project support and interaction with government bodies more transparent and manageable, he noted.

Sabirov also discussed the timelines for the implementation of investment projects. He reported that some investors may complete their projects within a year, while others, especially capital-intensive initiatives such as the construction of hydroelectric power stations, require 3–5 years. This is due to the need for preparing a feasibility study (FS) and going through other mandatory procedures, which extends the overall implementation period.
