ISSUES OF DEVELOPMENT OF KYRGYZ REPUBLIC’S TRANSIT POTENTIAL
Abstract
Geographic location of Kyrgyzstan as the bridge between Europe and Asia is the rational reason for development of transit potentials. Therefore, the principle objective is to become from potential to real transit country. Because of surface and geological features of Kyrgyzstan such as mountainous, continental climate and high landscape, cost of construction and maintenance of roads according to international standards are higher than in low landscape. As recent evidence shows own resources of country devoted to construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure is extremely low – 10 per cent of required amount. Financing these projects is due to external donor sources. However, large borrowing from international financial organizations is also limited. Private sector investment opportunities are also limited. Under these conditions one of the possible instruments of attracting investment is the public-private partnership (PPP). The most optimal approach for development of transit potential is further development and maintenance of roads network in connection with air transport and corridors and with organization of effective logistic centers.

ВОПРОСЫ РАЗВИТИЯ ТРАНЗИТНОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА КЫРГЫЗСКОЙ РЕСПУБЛИКИ
Abstract
Географическое положение Кыргызстана как моста между Европой и Азией является причиной развития транзитных потенциалов. Поэтому главная цель - стать из потенциального реальным транзитным государством. Вследствие ландшафтных и геологических особенностей Кыргызстана, таких как горный, континентальный климат и высокий ландшафт, стоимость строительства и содержания дорог в соответствии с международными стандартами становится выше, чем в условиях низкого ландшафта. Как показывают последние данные, собственные ресурсы страны, предназначенные для строительства и эксплуатации транспортной инфраструктуры, крайне низки – 10% от требуемой суммы. Финансирование этих проектов осуществляется за счет внешних донорских источников. Однако крупные заимствования у международных финансовых организаций также ограничены, как и возможности инвестирования в частный сектор. В этих условиях одним из возможных инструментов привлечения инвестиций является государственно-частное партнерство (ГЧП). Наиболее оптимальным для развития транзитного потенциала Кыргызской Республики является упор на восстановление сети автомобильных дорог в увязке с развитием воздушного транспорта и коридоров, с организацией эффективных логистических центров.
