Chairman of the Board of Directors of Central Asia Capital Anton Andreyevich Sobin gave an exclusive interview on the air of the program "In the Center of Asia" on the channel "Russia-24"

Together with Robert Francsev, the host and chief correspondent of the VGTRK regional bureau, Anton Andreyevich visited the construction site in Tokmak, where the construction of a new industrial park has begun.

Anton Sobin noted that this is where the national automotive industry will be established based on the technologies of the Russian AvtoVAZ. According to him, industrial parks significantly lower the entry threshold for investors, accelerate the launch of production, and promote the development of industrial cooperation, which is given special attention in the EAEU.

In the interview, Anton Sobin talked about the history of the creation of Central Asia Capital, emphasizing that all projects of the foundation relate to the real sector of the economy and are based on ESG principles, which is fundamentally important. The strategic goal of the foundation is to achieve a figure equal to 2% of the republic's GDP within the next three years.

Special attention was paid on the air to the attractiveness of Kyrgyzstan for Russian investors. The host of the program noted that CAC today acts as a connecting link between the region and Russian business.

Anton Andreyevich emphasized the historical and cultural closeness of Kyrgyzstan and Russia, as well as the importance of investments in human capital. Among the priority areas of the foundation's activities are the development of education, cultural, and social initiatives.

As part of the partnership with RANEPA, the Higher School of Business of Central Asia was opened in Kyrgyzstan with an MBA program; students are provided with scholarships and internships, computer classrooms are opened in rural schools; orphanages receive assistance annually. The funds of the foundation restored the memorial to Ivan Panfilov, and a series of commemorative stamps "Kyrgyzstanis - Heroes of the Great Patriotic War" has been released — and this is far from all initiatives.
