"We build a lot both in the city and in the countryside. We build manufacturing plants, cultural and community facilities, residential buildings.

We produce electricity, extract oil, non-ferrous and rare metals, manufacture electrical and agricultural machinery, cars, metal-cutting machines, automatic machines, automatic and semi-automatic lines, physical devices and, of course, food and light industry products. Coal mining is widely developed. Kyrgyz antimony has no equal in the world and serves as a model of the highest quality on the world market. Now we produce more than three and a half billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. New powerful power plants are being built. The capacity of the Toktogul hydroelectric power station under construction alone is equal to one million two hundred thousand kilowatts.
