General Director Mr. Ramil A. Babayev of the Turkic Investment Fund (TIF) held a meeting with the leadership of the Kyrgyz Stock Exchange (KSE). Mr. Babayev was accompanied by Mr. Sanjar Usmanov, Chief Investment Officer; Mr. Mirlan Shatmanov, Risk Manager; Mr. Shabdan Tagaev, Debt Finance Manager; and Mr. Farkhad Ibraev, Operations and Support Function Coordinator.

The Kyrgyz Stock Exchange was represented by Mr. Myktybek Abirov, Vice President; Mr. Almazbek Karakozhaev, Head of Sector, Metals Trading; and Mr. Alisher Baisubanov, Head of the Listing and Securities Trading Department.

Mr. Babayev briefed KSE leadership on TIF's institutional mandate and expressed strong interest in catalyzing activity in Kyrgyzstan's capital market. The dialogue explored prospects for structuring transactions on the KSE, including local currency (KGS) bond structures. Mr. Abirov, in turn, provided an overview of KSE's market framework, listing requirements, and regulatory updates aimed at boosting market activity.

The meeting highlighted a shared vision that well-functioning local capital markets are critical for mobilizing domestic savings and crowding in institutional capital to support sustainable economic growth. Noting strong strategic alignment, both institutions agreed to establish an ongoing dialogue to explore actionable areas for collaboration and transaction structuring.
