The eve of the 20th anniversary of Kyrgyzstan's membership in the WTO: priorities, consequences and prospects

摘要

Having gained independence, the Kyrgyz Republic not only qualitatively changed its status in the world, but also imposed upon itself certain obligations arising from such status. Confirming its own sovereignty, the country was actively involved in international processes, including entering the World Trade Organization. This article is devoted to the analysis of the effect obtained from Kyrgyzstan's accession to the WTO on the eve of her 20th anniversary. Data obtained were analyze using MS Excel. Results from the study clearly indicated that membership in the WTO automatically does not provide economic growth. It however helps to strengthen the foundations of long-term growth, but at the same time exacerbates certain problems of national development.
