About Central Asia

Central Asia — a region of new economic opportunities

Central Asia is a rapidly developing region at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, uniting five countries with a combined population of over 80 million and GDP exceeding $460 billion. The region is emerging as a vital hub for international trade, investment, and cross-border projects.

Why Central Asia matters for Western companies

For Western businesses, Central Asia represents a gateway to fast-growing and underexplored markets. Establishing a full-scale office in Kyrgyzstan provides access to:

  • China and EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) through simplified trade and customs regimes.
  • CIS countries with harmonized regulations and reduced trade barriers.
  • New markets of South Asia and the Middle East, leveraging China’s role as a trading and logistics partner.
