Kyrgyzstan has substantial untapped economic growth and sustainable development opportunities. Strategically located at the crossroads between Europe and Asia, on the ancient Silk Road, this landlocked mountainous country is an established trading centre and has the potential to become a regional transport and logistics hub. Temperate weather and good pasture lands for cattle breeding have made agriculture a major economic activity. Abundant mineral resources have started attracting significant investment from foreign mining companies; and unpolluted natural landscapes attract increasing numbers of tourists. Furthermore, Kyrgyzstan has significant untapped potential in renewable energy generation.
