Entrepreneurs in the country's regions may be offered an increase in the limit for preferential loans. According to the document, which changes the implementation procedure for the 'Economic Development of the Regions of the Kyrgyz Republic' project, the maximum loan amount should increase from 20 to 30 million som.
Reasons for changes and sectors of support
The need to revise the lending terms arose following meetings between representatives of OJSC State Financial Holding and local businesses. Entrepreneurs expressed a need for larger amounts and an expansion of the list of sectors available for state financing.
The list of industries eligible for funds includes tourism, light industry, manufacturing, healthcare, education, energy, agribusiness, and the service sector.
How the funds can be used
In the tourism sector, funding is planned for the construction and modernization of hotels, guest houses, capsule houses, glamping sites, and other types of accommodation. It will also allow for the purchase of tourist buses and outdoor recreation equipment.
In the service sector, support may cover projects for the construction and renovation of shopping centers, beauty salons, SPA centers, sports complexes, and service stations.
