Summary:

In 2013, as part of the OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme, the OECD worked with the Government of Kyrgyzstan to assess and improve the country's competitiveness. The OECD, in cooperation with GIZ (the German Society for International Co-operation), proposed the adoption of a targeted and practical approach to support competitiveness reforms in Kyrgyzstan. The review led to policy recommendations in three priority areas: increasing access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), developing human capital, and promoting investment and exports. This note was developed in consultation with the Government of Kyrgyzstan, private sector companies, business associations, and development partners during the monitoring process. It assesses the implementation progress made in the last three years and makes recommendations for further progress.
