However, the only cotton is exportedFollowing independence, Kyrgyzstan rapidly carried out market reforms, such as improving the regulatory system and instituting land reform. Kyrgyzstan was the first Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) country to be accepted into the World Trade OrganKyrgyz. Leaders hope the country’s August 2015 accession to the Eurasian Economic Union will bolster trade and investment. Still, slowing economies in Russia and China, low commodity prices, and currency fluctuations continue to hamper economic growth.

Another important indicator is the rate of GDP growth, which in Kyrgyzstan is 2.2% (2016 estimate), 3.5% (2015 estimate) 4% (2014 estimate).

More interesting facts about Kyrgyzstan
A few words about the past, as every country and society, are connected to its history; A Central Asian country of incredible natural beauty and proud nomadic traditions, most of the present-day Kyrgyzstan territory was formally annexed to the Russian Empire in 1876. The Kyrgyz staged a major revolt against the Tsarist Empire in 1916, in which almost one-sixth of the Kyrgyz population was killed. Kyrgyzstan became a Soviet republic in 1936 and achieved independence in 1991 when the USSR dissolved. Nationwide demonstrations in the spring of 2005 resulted in the ouster of President Askar AKAEV, who had run the country since 1990. Former Prime Minister Kurmanbek BAKIEV overwhelmingly won the presidential election in the summer of 2005. Over the next few years, he manipulated the parliament to accrue new powers for the presidency. In July 2009, after months of harassment against his opponents and media critics, BAKIEV won reelection in a presidential campaign that the international community deemed flawed.
In April 2010, Bishkek’s violent protests led to the collapse of the BAKIEV regime and his eventual flight to Minsk, Belarus. His successor, Roza OTUNBAEVA, served as transitional president until Almazbek ATAMBAEV was inaugurated in December 2011, marking the first peaceful transfer of presidential power in independent Kyrgyzstan’s history. Continuing concerns include the trajectory of democratization, endemic corruption, poor interethnic relations, border security vulnerabilities, and potential terrorist threats. Under the 2010 Constitution, ATAMBAEV is limited to one term, which will end in 2017. Constitutional amendments passed in a referendum in December 2016 include language that transfers some presidential powers to the prime minister. Disagreement over the constitutional amendments compelled ATAMBAEV’s ruling Social Democratic Party of Kyrgyzstan to dissolve and create a new majority coalition in the Jogorku Kengesh that excluded opposition parties critical of the amendments.
In every nation’s memory, some cornerstones placed the country on the timeline of history. The date of declaration of independence of Kyrgyzstan: 31 August 1991 (from the Soviet Union).

In dictatorships, the rules usually interweaved in one hand.
