re: Ann: High Grade Gold Mineralisation confi... Prime Minister Zh.Satybaldiev: A strategy for sustainable development of Kyrgyzstan for the next five years is the foundation for further reforms

Today, December 7, in the state residence "Ala Archa" Prime Minister Jantoro Satybaldiev participated in the first meeting of the National Council for sustainable economic development of the Kyrgyz Republic, where President Almazbek Atambayev society presented a draft Strategy for Sustainable Development in Kyrgyzstan ("roadmap") for from 2013 to 2017.

The following is a text of the Prime Minister's Office Zh.Satybaldiev at the first meeting of the National Council for sustainable economic development of the Kyrgyz Republic.

"Today we are at the first meeting of the National Council for the sustainable economic development of Kyrgyzstan and listened comprehensive report of the President Almazbek Atambayev Sharshenovich.

I want to emphasize that the establishment of the National Council due to the time and out of the new Constitution, the political structure of the country. It was incorporated in the Constitution of the need for harmonization and coordinated work of all branches of government, supported by society and to address the major problems of the country.

Therefore, the initiative of the President of the National Council on the establishment of an extremely important and timely, and the Government fully supports and is ready to consider all constructive comments and suggestions for revision of the document.

The report of the President outlined a comprehensive vision and way of development for the next five years, prioritized the development of strategic sectors of the economy in which we all have to focus their work.

It is important that the concept paper was developed jointly by the efforts of staff of the President and the Government made extensive use of experts and leading scientists of the country.

Dear Members of the Board,

Today, the country faces a range of complex and unresolved issues that been accumulating for years, and that we will face in the future.

Evidence of their presence as analytical estimates of independent experts and the country's poor performance in international rankings.

This gives a good reason to safely make the most important steps in the reforms and transformations, in order to keep up with the global world processes and held as a competitive state in the Central Asian region.

In this regard, we now have to identify the key economic targets for the coming years, the achievement of which will be the basis for the well-being of citizens and the subsequent dynamic sustainable development.

I want to emphasize that the five-year vision for the development of Kyrgyzstan - a common document for all branches of government, although the main work for its implementation lies with the Government. On the basis of this conceptual understanding of government needs to finalize the development of the medium-term program with annual action plans.

Note that the detail of the specific measures and policy actions should be carried out within the framework of the annual detailed plans of the Government to implement the policy of economic development, designated as part of the concept. It is necessary to paint the personal liability of government agencies for the implementation of these plans and actions to achieve the set goals.

The work of the Government can be more effective in terms of business and effective cooperation with the parliament. In this direction of the Parliament and the Government have the opportunity to further improve interaction.

Now, when we are discussing the draft of the policy document for Kyrgyzstan's development, relationships Parliament and the Government have to go to the next level.

You also need to develop mechanisms to increase citizen involvement in shaping the future of their country.

Thus, the strategic vision of economic development for the next five years is the foundation for further reform.

Achievement in the medium term, sustainable economic growth, predictable inflation, a balanced budget and live "within our means" not by "future generations" will be a major key to economic stability.

In our view, we need to pay close attention to the economic reforms of the consumer in the investment size and the transition to the project approach.

In this regard, the Government fully supports the thesis Almazbek Sharshenovich, the need to abandon the practice of responding to the facts have already happened. We must go to the practice of strategic planning - "prevention is better than cure its effects."

State should focus its efforts on the implementation of specific projects on a national scale and to eliminate the practice of "spraying" investments.

Should be provided with a categorical rejection of the "residual principle" in the funding of development projects.

In addition, our joint efforts to implement the projects should be aimed at the strategic economic objectives, such as achieving the energy and transportation security, food security, improve the business climate in the country.

However, I note that the Government has to address national problems attracted significant loans that require legislative support.

Parliament and the Government must find common solutions on matters of procedure, to loan funds received in time and were used specifically for the development of the country.

To speed up the preparation of regulations for legislative support strategic areas of the economy should be developed once the full set of documents. The work can be based on a joint working group of representatives of the Parliament, the Government, business and expert community. Jointly developed a set of documents will be made to give priority to the Parliament.

The basis of any market economy is the private sector, where the leading role played by small and medium-sized businesses that provide jobs.

At the moment they are working on their own risk, saturating the market with goods and services, and the budget with taxes. Therefore, we must admit that we have not done much to protect businesses from the pressure of officials from over-regulation, which is a barrier to the creation and expansion of businesses.

Measures taken by the Government can do in the coming year, a real improvement in the business environment and to enhance the prestige of the country in the international rankings. In this direction, we will work closely with the business sector and the donor community.

There are problems that government can not solve without the help of the judiciary. We are talking about the issue of guarantees to ensure the legal protection and freedom of entrepreneurship, the legitimate rights of the owners.

There are cases raider seizure of private property for the benefit of corrupt officials or other persons through judicial decisions. In this situation, all our efforts to improve the business environment look like in the eyes of investors, especially foreign ones, as an attempt to cover up the impotence of the state to protect investments and private property.

What investor would invest in our economy in such conditions?

Beginning of the reform of the judicial system hope will restore business confidence in the courts.

The government for its part is ready for constructive cooperation with the country's Supreme Court to provide better legal protection and freedom of entrepreneurship, the protection of private property.

Dear Members of the Board!

Initiative proposed by the President on the joint development of conceptual understanding of the development of Kyrgyzstan includes specific economic guidelines for the coming years.

In the new political structure, society, political parties and non-governmental organizations will closely monitor the actions of the authorities to achieve the stated objectives and to assess the contribution of each branch to the overall work. In this context, must be clearly defined management processes and implementation of public control of the document.

To achieve the objectives laid down, all of us, especially the executive power should not work in the "fire brigade", and begin to get used to work in the long term, consistently moving towards your goals.

The five-year vision for the development of Kyrgyzstan is a document that allows all of us to act consistently and deliberately, for the good of our country.

However, we must realize that achieving pledged reforms and implementation of specific policies of the document depends on the coordinated and consolidated among the three branches of government (executive, legislative and judicial branches of government) and, above all, political stability in the country.

I am confident that together we will preserve the unity of the people and the country, to build an independent economy and create the conditions for its citizens for productive work and a decent life for citizens of Kyrgyzstan. "
