Conclusions

The creation of a modern transport and logistics infrastructure is extremely important for Kyrgyzstan. Since the country does not have access to the sea, the share of transport costs in the price of goods is much higher than in countries that can benefit from maritime transport. High transport costs hamper the development of exports, limiting the range of potential export goods and markets where profitable trade is possible. For the same reason the cost of imports is high. Kyrgyzstan has enormous natural resources. Its main wealth is in its hydropower resources. In addition, the country possesses significant potential for extraction of various types of natural mineral raw materials. It needs a good transport infrastructure and advanced logistics systems for transporting these raw materials.
