3.1.1. Increasing the well-being of the people of Kyrgyzstan, ensuring sustainable economic growth, and achieving economic and financial independence of Kyrgyzstan should become key milestones for economic policy. 3.1.2. The current economic situation in Kyrgyzstan is largely a consequence of the complex socio-political situation in the country in the last 5-10 years, and is also conditioned by external factors and trends of a regional and global nature. But, despite all the challenges, as well as limited natural resources, the economy of Kyrgyzstan remains stable and positive dynamics are noted. 3.1.3. At the present stage of development, the economy of Kyrgyzstan shows moderate growth rates and is characterized primarily as a service economy. The largest share in the structure of the GDP of Kyrgyzstan falls on the sectors providing services. In the total GDP for the year 2017, the share of services was 48.0%, industry accounted for 18.2%, agriculture - 12.3% and construction - 8.2%. 3.1.4. As a result of the last five years, the GDP annually increases by 4-5%, there is a planned increase in the average wage, which in 2017 was 15391 soms. Monetary and fiscal policy, despite seasonal minor fluctuations, generally maintains a stable level of the national currency of the Kyrgyz Republic. 3.1.5. At the same time, the high degree of vulnerability of the economy, caused by both internal and external factors, remains. The key economic parameters of the country depend on the activities of Kumtor. Thus, the share of Kumtor in the country's GDP in 2017 was 9.7%, and in the total volume of industrial production 43.8%. The positive growth of GDP is largely due to the growth of consumption, rather than the accumulation and reproduction of capital. 3.1.6. Problems of unemployment and a lack of jobs force hundreds of thousands of Kyrgyz citizens to work abroad. There is a dynamic internal migration, associated primarily with the search for work. Migration negatively affects the development of rural areas. The able-bodied population, not deployed in a small homeland, does not develop the local community and infrastructure. At the same time, women and older citizens created an entire class of economically active population, specializing in the development of handicrafts. For the state, the activity of the villagers creates an incentive to support the development of creativity of selfemployed citizens who are solving their own social and economic problems on the ground. 3.1.7. The ongoing liberal economic reforms allowed the sector to form, state policies implemented to revive and support the development of folk arts and crafts, had a positive impact, but the sector has not yet become an effective economic system. Today, there is a practice of using personal stigma, but there is no legal framework for lawfully using such a mechanism. 3.1.8. Increasing global competition imposes a negative imprint. Many countries strengthen their national competitiveness, often resorting to administrative measures to protect their producers. 9
