VM.Capital - Strategic Bridge between Asia, Europe, and Central Asia

Europe is one of the world’s largest economic hubs, uniting more than 40 countries and playing a key role in global trade, investments, and innovations. The European Union (EU) and its neighboring states form a powerful space with high human capital, advanced infrastructure, and active involvement in international economic processes.

Economic Situation in Europe

In 2025, the European Union’s economy shows moderate growth despite challenges such as inflation and energy constraints. The EU’s GDP is estimated at $19.99 trillion (nominal) or $29.18 trillion (PPP), making it the third-largest economy globally after China and the USA. In Q2 2025, GDP growth was approximately 1.2% year-on-year, driven by recovering consumer demand and investments in green technologies. The largest economies—Germany (23.7% of EU GDP), France (16.1%), and Italy (12.1%)—account for over half of the region’s economic potential. However, high energy prices and the impact of global conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, pose risks of stagflation, particularly in Eastern EU countries. Inflation in the Eurozone dropped to 2.5% by mid-2025 but remains above the European Central Bank’s 2% target.
The EU is a unique global player, combining features of an international organization and a supranational entity. It participates in the World Trade Organization (WTO) as “European Communities” alongside individual member states like Germany and France. The EU is also active in the UN, NATO (with 23 member states in the alliance), OSCE, Council of Europe, and other organizations. Through its Customs Union and Eurozone (20 countries using the euro), the EU sets trade and financial policy standards. In 2025, the EU’s strategy focuses on strengthening multilateralism, supporting climate agreements like the Paris Agreement, and promoting democratic values. Additionally, the EU fosters ties with non-members through the European Economic Area (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein) and bilateral agreements with countries like Switzerland and Turkey.

Human and Economic Capital

  • Economic Capital

    The EU’s economic strength lies in its single market, technological innovation, and commitment to sustainability. The EU’s cohesion policy aims to reduce regional disparities, supporting less developed countries through structural funds. Key growth areas include digitalization, the green economy, and strategic transport networks. In 2025, the EU is investing €800 billion in the ReArm program to enhance military and industrial self-sufficiency and in initiatives to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The “blue economy” (marine and coastal sectors) generates €650 billion annually and supports approximately 4.5 million jobs, with plans for further expansion. Despite demographic challenges like an aging population, the EU sustains economic growth through the European Skills Agenda, which focuses on workforce retraining for digital and green economies.
  • Human Capital

    In 2025, the EU’s population is around 450 million, with an average Human Development Index (HDI) of 0.896, ranging from 0.959 in Luxembourg to 0.821 in Bulgaria. Literacy rates exceed 99% in most countries, with an average of 12 years of education. The workforce totals approximately 200 million, emphasizing highly skilled professionals in technology, healthcare, and engineering. Social spending in 2023 accounted for 26.8% of EU GDP, supporting healthcare, education, and social protection. However, an aging population, particularly in Southern and Eastern Europe, strains pension systems, with some regions projected to see a 25% population decline by 2050. The EU actively invests in retraining programs and migrant integration to maintain human capital.

EU-Kyrgyzstan Cooperation

Cooperation between the EU and Kyrgyzstan has been developing since 1991 under the 1999 Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA), upgraded in 2019 to the Enhanced Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (EPCA). In 2023, bilateral trade reached €310 million, with growth potential following post-COVID recovery. The EU provided €174 million to Kyrgyzstan from 2014–2020 and €255 million for Central Asian regional projects, focusing on rule of law, education, and the green economy. Kyrgyzstan benefits from GSP+ status, granting zero customs duties on over 6,200 tariff lines for exports to the EU, fostering economic diversification. Key initiatives include the EU-Central Asia Economic Forum and support for infrastructure projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway.

Trade Opportunities with Europe via Kyrgyz Companies

Kyrgyzstan offers unique trade opportunities with the EU due to its GSP+ status, WTO membership, and central Eurasian location. Companies registered in Kyrgyzstan can leverage preferential customs conditions to export textiles, agricultural products, and other goods to the EU. Simplified procedures within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and projects like the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway enhance logistical potential, reducing delivery times to Europe. Trade growth potential is estimated at 20–25% annually by utilizing regional supply chains. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from EU investment funds and green SME support programs, fostering job creation and sustainable growth.
