Trade Facilitation Roadmap of the Kyrgyz Republic 2021-2025

The National Trade Facilitation Roadmap of the Kyrgyz Republic 2021-2025 serves as the guiding framework for comprehensive national trade facilitation reforms over a five-year period. The Roadmap sets out a strategic vision and respective goals and activities for the Kyrgyz Republic to implement. Through these activities the Kyrgyz Republic can transform its trade facilitation services to digitally-enabled services, improve its position in the Trading Across Borders section of the World Bank’s Doing Business ranking and fully eliminate paper-based documents for export and import of essential goods. The activities in the Roadmap are expected to assist with overcoming COVID-19 related challenges. This document was developed as a part of the UNECE project “Strengthening the capacity of the Kyrgyz National Trade Facilitation Council to implement the World Trade Organization (WTO) Trade Facilitation Agreement”, funded by the Russian Federation.
