metadata.value: The Kyrgyz Republic joined the WTO twenty years ago with the expectation that structural
  reforms required for obtaining membership and the application of trade rules would
  facilitate its transformation from a centrally planned to a market economy and ease its
  integration into the WTO multilateral trading system. It completed its accession process
  in record time, liberalized its economy considerably, reduced tariffs significantly, and made
  substantial commitments in a broad range of services sectors. It adopted legislation in all
  areas required for WTO membership and created competitive market access conditions for
  goods and services. Looking back at two decades of WTO membership, there is evidenced
  that the reform process is paying off. Trade has expanded significantly and new markets have
  been tapped for imports and exports, thus decreasing its dependency on traditional trading
  partners. As a result, the economy has grown rapidly. At the same time, many challenges
  remain to further diversify the economy, take better advantage of opportunities offered in
  the services trade, attract foreign direct investment, and fully implement all WTO related
  laws, rules, and regulations. The reform process continues to be essential to Kyrgyzstan’s
  economic policies to deepen and solidify its integration into the world trading system.
