For the first time on the Kyrgyz market MGN Capital and the legal firm Kalikova & Associates present analytical reviews of prospective sectors of the economy featuring a combination of research and analysis of both economic and legal aspects of industry operations.
Potential investors are introduced to overviews of the electricity sector and mobile communications industry; similar research reports covering mining, microfinance, banking and tourist industries are presently in the works.
The purpose of publishing the overviews is to assist local and foreign investors in analyzing currently available investment opportunities and making effective investment decisions.

Gulnara Kalikova, Managing Partner of Kalikova & Associates, noted:
- Based on my own experience I understand how important it is for foreign companies to be familiar with “the rules of the game” in a certain industry, such as the companies functioning in the sector, their operating and regulating practices. There are cases when capital investment may seem economically sound, however, it should not be pursued from the legal standpoint. That is why we paid particular attention to mobile operators’ licensing and market entry issues in our mobile communications report, while the electricity report emphasizes on licensing and pricing policies.

Robert Genkin, Managing Director of MGN Capital, commented:
- Emerging markets are in the center of potential investors’ attention. On the one hand, they present tremendous opportunities for business development; on the other hand, they make investors wary due to lack of information and a range of specific risks, such as political or local currency risks. Therefore, outside audiences would undoubtedly benefit from updated comprehensive information regarding current market opportunities, development tendencies and key risks.
Research reports also contain information on available and potential investment projects as well as analysis of current problems facing both the industry and individual companies.

MGN Сapital, a division of MGN Group, the financial investment holding, offers a full range of investment banking services including M&A advisory, corporate finance, project finance, privatization of government assets and pre-IPO advisory services. MGN Сapital offers the analysis of publicly available information for purposes of supporting investments and management decisions; its services were secure for many large projects in performing issuer research of such companies as Centerra Gold Inc., TNC Dastan and CJSC Pharmaco Group.
