President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, has signed a decree introducing a moratorium on business inspections until the end of 2026.

The move applies to checks by law enforcement and other authorized government bodies, aiming to ease pressure on entrepreneurs and improve the investment climate, The Caspian Post reports via Kyrgyz media.

However, certain inspections remain allowed, including those:

Related to criminal or civil court proceedings

Requested by entrepreneurs themselves

Requested by foreign government agencies

Initiated by individuals or legal entities

Triggered by specific violations of the law

Customs control

Tax audits under the existing tax moratorium

Conducted by the National Bank

Related to civil aviation

The decree also establishes personal accountability for heads of government agencies to ensure compliance with the moratorium.

Authorities say the measure is intended to prevent abuses during inspections, reduce bureaucratic pressure, and create a more business-friendly environment in Kyrgyzstan.
