The Ministry of Economy of the Kyrgyz Republic, with the technical support of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) project to promote growth and investment in the tourism sector in the Kyrgyz Republic, has begun to create an electronic register of administrative procedures.
It will be a website containing information about all administrative procedures in the country and providing easy search and navigation through all existing administrative procedures required by a business. All data included in the register will be organized in a user-friendly format that will allow the public to get as much information as possible for doing business in the shortest possible time.
At the first stage, procedures related to the tourism and foreign trade sector will be placed in the register as a test, and then the remaining procedures from across the country will be included. This is because various permits are required in different state registers. The new system will reduce the pressure on government officials and contact between government agencies and entrepreneurs. The use of the electronic register will reduce the time spent searching for information which, in turn, will reduce the regulatory pressure on businesses.
The software previously developed by the experts of the World Bank will be used to implement this system. It will be adapted by a local IT company, taking into account the specifics and needs of the country. The software can be used for the further step-by-step transformation of the product into a fully automated system, which allows digitalization of the entire process of issuing licenses: filing an application, collecting data by the licensor, analyzing, and issuing a license.
The IFC project to promote growth and investment in the tourism sector in the Kyrgyz Republic is funded by the Swiss government.
