The economy of Kyrgyzstan experienced a shock after joining the EEU, the Economist of the World Bank office in Kyrgyzstan Bakyt Dubashov said on June 2 at a press conference.
According to the results of 2016, macroeconomic growth was noted at the expense of Kumtor, but even without gold mining, there is an increase of more than 3%. The state of the Kyrgyz economy was able to react to the negative consequences of 2015.
“There was a good growth in industry. In 2015, growth was weak. There was a slowdown in other industries. This is agriculture and construction. However, after joining the EEU, there was a certain shock for those who participated in foreign trade. Firms couldn’t overcome obstacles,” Bakyt Dubashov said. (24.kg/Business World Magazine)
