| Summary: | This report examines the key challenges
faced by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Kyrgyz
Republic, in an attempt to identify the issues and areas in
most urgent need of reform. The IFC Study of Investment
Climate as seen by Small and Medium Enterprises in the
Kyrgyz Republic is the first survey of the investment
climate in the Kyrgyz Republic conducted by IFC. One of the
key objectives of the IFC Study of Investment Climate as
seen by Small and Medium Enterprises in the Kyrgyz Republic
is to identify precisely those areas in greatest need of
reform, in order to reduce the regulatory burden and enable
policy makers in the Kyrgyz Republic to establish priorities
to encourage new business development and growth, resulting
in higher employment and reducing poverty. Data contained in
the Survey provide a basis on which the most viable
potential reforms might be assessed. The introductory
chapter to this report paints a general picture of the
macro-economic situation in the Kyrgyz Republic, as well as
providing a data-driven description of each of the three
categories of enterprises covered in the Survey – individual
entrepreneurs, small and medium companies, and farmers.
Chapters 3 through 8 provide a detailed examination of
Survey findings on a variety of key topics, and each chapter
begins with an explanation of the legal and regulatory
framework of that issue. Chapter 9 provides an overview of
the survey methodology. Finally, the Data Annex presents
additional findings on issues covered under Access to
Finance and Foreign Trade. |
