Kyrgyzstan strengthens its position in global market through digital platforms

Bishkek, Sept. 8, 2025. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan is strengthening its position in the global market through digital platforms, Deputy Minister of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic Sultan Akhmatov said at a panel session within the Eastern Economic Forum “Making Local Global: Digital Platforms as a Driver of Non-Resource Export Growth”.

He noted that the development of e-commerce is a strategic direction for export diversification and an effective tool for supporting small and medium-sized businesses. The minister paid special attention to the development of logistics infrastructure. In particular, within the framework of the Development Program until 2030, it is planned to create at least one million square meters of warehouse space in Kyrgyzstan. These plans will be given additional impetus by the implementation of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway project, which opens up new opportunities for the formation of modern transport and logistics corridors. In the context of the above initiatives, Kyrgyzstan, together with Wildberries, is starting to implement a project to build a modern logistics center. According to forecasts, the implementation of such solutions will ensure annual growth of e-commerce at a level of about 14%. In conclusion, Sultan Akhmatov emphasized that the Kyrgyz Republic is consistently developing the infrastructure of digital trade and remains open to expanding cooperation with international partners.
