New industrialization of Kyrgyzstan - air lock or real perspective

New industrialization of Kyrgyzstan - air lock or real perspective

Kyrgyzstan's accession to the Customs Union is delayed. The approval of the roadmap, originally scheduled for Summer-2013, was once again postponed - to May 2014. Opponents and even cautious supporters talk about the upcoming step in the pledge of choice, bargaining. However, the choice is somewhat not about what it is customary to talk about - not between the introduction and the non-introduction. It's about choosing between the awareness of the need for a new industrialization of the republic and the illusions of the possibility of maintaining political stability, reproducing the current model of the state.

Service economy as an air lock

The economy of Kyrgyzstan today is considered “service”. This elegant term was invented by the Minister of Economy and Antimonopoly Policy Temir Sariev. Reporting to Kyrgyz parliamentarians about a year ago, he outlined the main structural component of the national economy: “25% of the republic’s economy is based on agriculture, 43% falls on trade relations and services, 5 – 7% is related to the development of the financial sector country. The state economy has become a service one, and this is what distinguishes us from other countries of the world. ” More 20 – 5% in our way, in an oriental way - back and forth.

You can differ favorably. Or vice versa. What does Kyrgyzstan live today? The alignment is simple. In addition to income from labor migrants (almost a million Kyrgyz people annually transfer and bring more than 3,5 billion dollars to the republic), there are trade flows from China to the CIS (the notorious re-export) and maintenance of Bishkek residents in transport, catering, hairdressing, exchange offices, media and shops .

About energy needs a special conversation. Tourism is still, again. Under President Akaev, tourism was the foremost red banner for the ideologues of independence. But did not grow together. The infrastructure itself did not arise (apparently, the law of non-decreasing entropy prevented), and no one invested investments without guarantees. From the “other” - electric power industry (all projects in which are tied to Russia), coal mining for domestic use, gold mining at Kumtor and sewing workers. Only lazy does not know about Kumtor and the ongoing fight for the good of others for more than a year. The growth of the effectiveness of this enterprise is clearly not expected. Weather masters won't do it.

In the early nineties, total privatization was held in industry in Kyrgyzstan.


The result is known. Factories stopped production, some were redeployed (they set up production of kettles and basins, they also issued salaries, these markers of the nineties were common to the entire post-Soviet space), some went bankrupt. Industrial output declined in 1995 year, it decreased by two thirds compared with 1990-m. Then this figure fluctuated slightly. Total, in the national economy of Kyrgyzstan, the share of industry now, by the beginning of 2014, does not reach 20%. This is the true meaning of the term “service economy.”

However, while industrial production fell in the 1990-s, now the prospect of reducing re-export is looming ahead. The question of the end of the re-export era in Kyrgyzstan is put in direct connection with the entry into the Customs Union. They say that as a result, the grandiose market “Dordoy” and its southern “brother”, “Kara-Suu” will die - and a social explosion is ensured. But the Eurasian integration process will necessarily continue - with or without Kyrgyzstan. So, Dordoi, in any case, is waiting for decline. For the economy to have a foundation, it must produce something other than impressions.

Nostalgia as a way to feel the difference

Here you need an excursion to history. In 1913, the share of industrial production in Kyrgyzstan was 3%. Before 1917, the industry based on handicraft production was mainly engaged in the processing of agricultural raw materials (86,5%). 1 candy factory, 2 brewery and 2 tanneries, a workshop for the production of fruit and berry juices, 11 mills and oil mills worked.

In the Soviet period, when Kyrgyzstan was part of the Central Asian economic region, the leading industries were mining, engineering, light industry and food industry. On the system of hydropower facilities built at this time, the economy still works at the very least. Coal, oil and gas were mined in the south-west of the republic. In Kyrgyzstan, parts, metal-cutting machines and automatic lines, electrical products, devices and consumer goods were manufactured as part of an all-Union industrial chain. And even torpedoes for the Navy. Dozens of powerful factories gave hundreds of thousands of jobs. Nonferrous metallurgy (mining and enrichment of mercury, antimony, lead-zinc ores, production of mercury, antimony) was unusually developed. Light industry was represented by cotton-cleaning, textile (there was no need to import fabrics and knitwear from China), as well as leather-shoe, garment and carpet weaving factories. The developed network of agricultural enterprises and factories producing construction materials complemented the picture. As a result, the share of industry in the economy of the Kirghiz SSR increased from 3 to 50%. It was.

As it became - we also see. The scale of the destruction of the economy is impressive. Moreover, the data were not obtained under bullets or in secret archives - only open sources and official data of the Ministry of Economy and Antimonopoly Policy. Figures, public speeches of the minister, a simple comparison of the facts paint an unequivocal picture. And on this basis, let us ask ourselves a rhetorical question: does Kyrgyzstan need a new industrialization?

New industrialization as a real perspective

Is it possible to simply restore the former economic ties? Unfortunately no. I will return to the law of non-decreasing entropy. All processes, as is known, can be divided into reversible and irreversible. So, while the democratic ships plowed the ocean space of the dream of independence, scientific and technical progress has gone far ahead. Technological processes that provided industrial communications are hopelessly outdated. In addition, the former partners in the USSR developed these 20 years unevenly and overgrown with new connections. Zero the results of an economic disaster is impossible. Therefore, the process of destruction of the joint economy is irreversible. Kyrgyzstan should build a new one. Will the republic master this task in the context of globalization of world economic processes independently? Of course not.

Then with whom? Let us imagine that China, which has seen all these years in Kyrgyzstan as a raw "shed" and wholesale distributor of its goods in the markets of its neighbors, suddenly rushes to build factories and plants here. Recently, Vice President of the Chinese Institute of International Affairs Ruan Zuen spoke about the role of Kyrgyzstan in the economic programs of the Silk Road project as an alternative to the Customs Union for the Kyrgyz Republic. Who does not know the way shopping. And the project too. There are no other plans, and they have nowhere to appear. Railway, trade enterprises - about the same. Turkey exports clothes and ideology to Kyrgyzstan. Loans more. It is also strange to wait from the shores of industrial projects. About the European Union and the US shut up, perhaps. There are only former partners in the Soviet Union.

The real prospect of going along the difficult path of new industrialization, bypassing the catastrophic scenario, is Eurasian economic integration.

    I was born in Kyrgyzstan. And I’ll tell you so. The country is a diamond. But a diamond needs a cut. Unfortunately, the Kyrgyz are such a people ... Not that lazy or stupid, not exactly the opposite. But they are very undisciplined and very suggestible. And maybe someone will argue, but I will say the following: if Kyrgyzstan becomes part of Russia, then Russia will receive not only Issyk-Kul, but also piles of gold, diamonds, metals, beautiful vineyards, which once even make Krasnodar, beautiful, still since then a whole Soviet infrastructure. In addition, those who are older can remember that on the same Issyk-Kul there was a testing ground for naval and submarine weapons. Well, about the Manas airport, I’m generally silent, even in modern times, built under the pea king, this airport can take anything up to some sort of Mriya and Buran, it’s not without reason that the Americans planted and serviced B-52 on it without any problems

            No, it’s about integration into the Eurasian Union

            Well, to be honest, it seems to me (I don’t throw feces) that the Eurasian Union is the same stillborn geopolitical entity, like the CIS. Who is the CIS based on? Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus. The rest were simply "territories" that had no particular alternatives.
            That is why I "dreamed" about the annexation of Kyrgyzstan to Russia. Not violent, of course.

            Zymran, good evening! And I really want to share the news: Kaz. mathematician (my supervisor considers him number 1 in the Republic of Kazakhstan) Mukhtarbai Otelbaev solved one of the "millennium problems" the Navier-Stokes equation (remember Russian mat. Perelman, who also solved one of these problems, who refused a million). This system of partial differential equations describes the motion of a viscous fluid. Ur-nie N.-S. is one of the most important problems of hydrodynamics and is used in mat. modeling many technical problems. As a rule, all advanced scientific achievements are first applied to military developments. I personally know this person. He brought up about 100 candidates of sciences and 9 doctors of sciences, over 200 scientific publications and articles. And for my fellow countrymen, I want to note that he is a graduate of the Moscow State University and was a student of a well-known grew up. mathematician Boris Levitan.
            Smagulov - Novosibirsk, student of Yanenko and Kuznetsov, about 50 students
            Umirbaev - Novosibirsk, known for having solved the "Nagata hypothesis" during the life of Masayoshi Nagata; student of Shestakov
            Kasymov - Moscow, a student of Lyusternik, about 80 students (by the way, a lot of Kirghiz defended with him; friend of the academician, Kyrgyz Imanaliev)
            I can list further Bliev, Zhautykov, Kalmenov, Zhensykbaev, Dzholdasbekov, Amandosov, etc. all were trained in Russia. If you graduated from NovSU or MSU or TomskGu with honors, then any university of the Republic of Kazakhstan with "legs tears away" you. Actually, it must be said that after Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan in the field of mathematics (as a science) occupied the 2nd place in Asia at the beginning of the century.
            Zymran, I do not want to convince you about the 50-year reserve. But these are the mat. achievements begin to take root in life in 50 years. And what the mathematicians of the USSR did will help future generations to understand the "nature of new products-goods", on the basis of which they are made. This is the meaning I put in the words about the 50-year reserve. hi

              Yes, I heard about this news. I would be very happy if the solution is correct, but so far, as far as I understand, nothing can be said with confidence. In this regard, I wonder if you read his work and get your opinion on the decision proposed by Otelbaev.

                You can rest assured of the decision. Ours are not used to making loud statements without a foundation. This area is the least corrupt. Somehow 20 years ago, even more will be, I went to the department (I do not remember exactly which one, but this is on the 2nd floor of the fur-mat of the old building), and there Otelbaev and Smagulov discussed this mat. task. Such decisions do not come immediately, over the course of many years. "Debates" on such things are conducted not only in a narrow circle, as a rule, the entire scientific community (not only the former USSR) will learn about it after a while. And they begin to say that such and such is engaged in this task. Therefore, such statements from such people cannot be fake. At least such statements are not made without checking opponents. I'm sure the leading spec. we have already done "checks" for this task.
                But essentially everything is there. The theorem of existence and uniqueness. A special case is considered. As a rule, for the dock, the constants are taken as a unit to avoid the cumbersome formulas in the writing. Believe him not in vain, although formally, they are called mathematician No. 1 of Kazakhstan. Our AKSAKAL is known throughout the world, its authority leaves no doubt among specialists.
                Well, if you talk about medicine like that, then believe me, I am only for it. Especially when you look at manufacturers of medical equipment and medicines. There it is better and should be adopted. But the universal education program was better in the USSR. Therefore, I think it is not necessary to copy the West here. drinks

A well-developed network of agricultural processing enterprises and factories producing building materials complemented the picture. As a result, the share of industry in the economy of the Kyrgyz SSR increased from 3 to 50%. It was. Yes

    It is clear to everyone that there will be many difficulties, but the most important thing is that there is an understanding that this is the only right decision, there is no other way. Too many residents of our republic support this development of events, I will not say that all or most, but many. Those associated with China or the resale of goods to the CU countries will not support, which is basically the same thing. And all the rest: production workers, agricultural workers, the tourism business, migrant workers, military, etc. support unambiguously. And the hucksters will have to reorient, what can you do, this is life, it’s a pity for simple traders in Dordoi and other markets, drivers, etc., in the absence of normal work, for most of them working in the market is the only chance to get income close to worthy.

      Dardanes, I would advise "hucksters" in sewing shops to "change their shoes" - Uzbeks save on materials. I recently bought warm underwear, the material is good (100% cotton). But the cut and the size, there, as in the USSR, were stolen on the size of the dealers. On the label, it seems like one size, in fact, another. So you can bypass the Uzbeks on quality and honesty. wink ... And what, from Kyrgyzstan, the sewing workshop could have turned out not bad. For the first time, what you need. And for large investments, the Kyrgyz Republic needs stability and transparency of the authorities. And then the natural resources of Kyrgyzstan will become the key to prosperity, there is no doubt about that. hi

    No offense to the Kyrgyz. Not a single Kyrgyz will work at the factory. Neither a worker nor an engineer.
    No industrialization will ever be there.

    You are wrong, although I am not Kyrgyz, but Russian, and I work in Kyrgyzstan as an engineer in a factory, but I have a lot of Kyrgyz colleagues and engineers and workers, they know how to work and plow like some Russians did not dream of. Therefore, do not write at all unless you have a clue about what to write about.
    There are of course their own mentality, but in general, everything is as I described in the plan, they know whether or not they can work.hi

      Dardanes, advice - do not take acutely everything that is written here. Many simply were not here and judge us by those who came to them to earn money. And these are very often Aul guys without any qualifications and knowledge of the Russian language. Specialists like you can get a job here too.
      From modern experience it is known that small-sized countries are faster on their feet and developing. In large countries, communications and infrastructure take a lot of time and energy, but nowhere to go.
      We, in Kazakhstan, are especially keen on the whole leapfrog in Kyrgyzstan, but we really believe in stabilizing the Kyrgyz Republic. And Issyk-Kul for us is more than just a lake. fellow hi

        People are the same as ours in the outback. There are clever women, there are fools, and there are scumbags too.
        Clan relations are very strong. If you want to work properly, put someone of the older clan as a deputy. And so, in principle, with the vehicle, it can and does. They are our resources, we are their stability and earnings. Yes, and even powerful corruption, our rest.

    It will be loved, it was and will be, and not only because the Kyrgyz people know how to work, but also because there are also Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Uzbeks, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, even Koreans and Dungans (you know who the Dungans are ?) etc., can be continued for a long time. And here, from Soviet times, a considerable number of prom. enterprises, including the military-industrial complex, some of which work, some are with canned equipment. Most certainly collapsed in the 90s, but can anyone say that in Russia or other CIS countries in the 90s it was different?
    And Russia is already investing in the construction of the largest hydroelectric power stations in Kyrgyzstan, while some gentlemen say that there will never be industrialization ...

    the Kirghiz had to write off the debts that it was due to Moscow ($ 500) and to get more weapons for a billion. the question is how to do this? the Kyrgyz promised that such a date would enter the customs union, Moscow wrote off debts and supply weapons (almost free of charge), now the Kyrgyz say that the people are against joining, they name all sorts of reasons and they are partly right. but everyone forgot that the Kirghiz entered the WTO before all of us, and if they enter the customs union they need to pay a penalty of one billion euros! the country lives off of the resale of consumer goods (let's say) to the countries of the former Soviet Union, and if we say they enter the customs union, then import duties must increase, which makes no sense then to other citizens of neighboring states to go for cheap goods. so gentlemen! otherwise the Kirghiz have long entered the customs union.

    And in vain, I strongly advise especially "Bishkek" and "Kyrgyzstan", there are also wonderful balms. I don't advertise, just humanly advise, a good thing. I don't know much about Kazakhstani cognac, I just tried it once, my friends brought it from Astana, 10 years of aging, I will say this, it cannot be compared with ours, but again it tastes and color ...

    I was born in Kyrgyzstan and lived there for a long time. But what constitutes a republic now is of course quiet horror. Prosrali, sorry, that's all. Ruined and there is nothing new. But there were really many factories. One industrial zone in Bishkek, which means. If my memory serves me well, tape recorders and video electronics were released there. Lenin Plant, Frunze Plant. My father worked at a computer factory, now there are warehouses (flea market). It's a shame. About the cognac. Champagne winery really made great drinks. I liked Cognac Manas (KVVK) just the charm of everything grew dim next to him, and Arashan balm is generally a miracle. But I’m afraid they won’t be able to bring it all up again. There are a lot of thieves. and the leadership, alas, is not very

      The champagne was taken apart for sale long ago. Only the outer wall remained unchanged. There can be no talk of any revival of factories and factories. There is simply no one to work for them. What may be of real interest is hydropower + soft water control. The rivers flowing from Kyrgyzstan are of great importance for three of the neighboring states. The extraction of non-ferrous metals, metalloids and "rare earths" was and still is of great local importance, now, apart from gold, nothing else is mined in significant volumes.
      More tin reserves are enormous. The development of agriculture has not stopped anyone yet, but although the territory is not the smallest - a little more than Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan combined, but suitable plowing places are densely populated. Of the climate zones, there is everything except the tropics, subtropics and sand deserts .
      The road network is quite developed, their quality ... approximately like everywhere else in the CIS, there are good ones. There is a railway to Issyk-Kul, before the war it was only to Kant station. The population is not evenly distributed, due to the harsh climate of most of the territory.

          It is, of course, a number of deposits that have not been fully developed. Almost the entire Mendelev's table is there, platinoids only "pumped up", the question is the expediency of mining.

      The quality of cartridges for the AK plant of Lenin and under the union left much to be desired, about the production of modern torpedoes at Fizpribory (Dastan), do not tell me. Even if you carry out the reconstruction of the plant, then take the trouble to think without offense, who will do them? How stable does Interglas work, or does it sell what was produced several years ago? The Kant cement plant is working, but raw materials are transported from across the river. The current president openly called some of its owners swindlers, but where are the facts that a serious Kazakhstani holding, which was monstrously "thrown on the loot" by the government of the state of Kyrgyzstan, is engaged in fraudulent activities in various spheres of the local economy.

    You are probably confusing the concept of defense with some kind of sharashkin office? Requirements for the quality of cartridges have always been tough, and believe me they have remained so. Only production can become less in quantity. And new modifications of the Shkval torpedo family are only in the project of Russian designers. And the old ones still continue to release, and the staff remained. It is not for nothing that Russia has set the terms of control over Dastan as one of the conditions for joining the Customs Union. The territory of the "Shampanvinkombinat" that S. Ibragimov sold at the "Belinka" to the Kazakhs, but kept the cognac on Murmanskaya street for himself. The brand "ShVK" sold "KantVino". And the cognac continues to be produced, the same cognac manufacturer Duishekan Bekeshovna, a graduate of the Samarkand Institute of Winemakers, I don’t remember which one there is, and these cognacs are "Kyrgyzstan", "Manas", "Seytek", "Elchi", etc. regularly receive gold medals at all competitions, every year, the last seems to have been held in Sochi. The raw materials go to the Kant plant mainly of their own, the Kazakh only components and owners. The German in "Interglas" is working on the sly at least all the stoves over fire.

    sausages, soon cables, fruits, alcoholic beverages, Ilbirsa jerseys. The worsted cloth mill, the former garment factories "May 1" "40 Years of the Komsomol" are mothballed, just give me raw materials and sales. The same is in Kadamzhay, Khaidarkan. Vekselberg's Karabalta refining and uranium enrichment plant is also working on the sly. The reserves of "rare earth" and molybdenum are sufficient for development for more than 10 years. I am gnawed by heavy doubts Humpty, that you, for something, so disliked Kyrgyzstan, is there any insult?

      Albay. At the expense of local production of wines and cognac of decent quality there are no problems, but it is much easier than mastering the full production cycle of samovars.
      The native uncle of the Germans sometimes moves. If it is assumed that for example, stable orders appear for the Tokmak KPF, then the people who worked there 6-7 years ago remembered well that a salary of 2500-3000 soms could not be expected at all.
      Can the products of the remaining partially not stolen be competitive
      factories that, with the help of evening prayers and the personal public refusal of the speaker of parliament to celebrate the New Year, will suddenly work by some miracle?
      I'm trying to say real.
      To develop hydropower, mining. Because it does not allow the government and parliament, regardless of who sits there. They only know, give me! , and we will dictate to you, interfere and make claims, arrange robberies, arsons, actions of sabotage.

Well, about the public quirks of all speakers and others like him, you can not worry that they will "leave", it is simply bad that the acceleration of the flywheel of religiosity begins in our society, initially indifferent to Islam. And if the vertical of power with tough law enforcement agencies is strengthened, then there will be no robbery, arson, etc., the people can be put in a stall, there would be an authoritative power and itself serving as an example in all respects. You probably remember that under the Soviet regime, the Kyrgyz were probably the calmest nation, as one regional official from Osh told me "... saying democracy is democracy, we took the people out into the street, and now we do not know how to get them back ...

    The last 1,5 years it works stably. And entry into the vehicle will only increase the capacity utilization.
    And the delivery of raw materials from the river will become easier thanks to joining the CU, and even the Kazakhstan market will be open again for them ... And if it does not become easier, then there is a local alternative to Kazakhstani raw materials.
