Published on January 12, 2026
On August 12, 2025, Kyrgyzstan adopted a new Law on Investments (№ 198) that introduces reforms to the resolution of investment disputes. A key feature of this legislation is a multi-stage dispute settlement mechanism designed to limit foreign investors’ direct access to international arbitration, a significant change from the previous version of the law, which allowed more immediate recourse to arbitration.
