Kyrgyzstan: Amidst a nationwide construction boom, Kyrgyzstan faces a cement shortage in its northern regions, Central Asia News reports. The current production in northern plants is insufficient, leading to imports from Kazakhstan which do not meet demand.
Nurdan Oruntaev, Head of State Construction Agency, said “I think the problem will be resolved with the launch of two new cement plants, which are under construction. Prices can then be regulated."
