A Chinese-invested refinery became Kyrgyzstan’s second largest taxpayer and one of the largest employers last year, greatly contributing to people's incomes and employment.
China and Kyrgyzstan have cooperated on various projects under the Belt and Road Initiative. Two hours away from the capital Bishkek is China’s largest investment project in Kyrgyzstan, the Zhongda China Petrol Company.
The refinery was born from a 500-million U.S. dollar backing by a Chinese company. It processes crude oil imported by rail from Russia and Kazakhstan, as well as a small amount from Kyrgyzstan.
"During an inspection in 2008, our general manager Yao Gaomin found that this country didn’t have a modern oil refinery. Then, after contact with the local government, we decided to build this factory. Since the company began operation, it has helped stabilize local oil prices, and significantly eased the troubles with oil usage," said Shi Jianguo, deputy manager of Zhongda China Petrol Company.
This Chinese-invested refinery paid the Kyrgyzstan government 43 million U.S. dollars last year, being the country's second largest taxpayer. It's also one of the nation's largest employers, hiring over 2,000 people.
Over 80 percent of the employees are locals, including technicians. The company used to send staff to China for specialty training, which has led to the high employment. Salbarov Esen, 27, studied in China for a year before working on safety maintenance.
"I work here because this plant is very close to my home, and the pay is very handsome. I check on the equipment every two hours to see if the pressure levels, oil levels, and all indexes are stable and working well," said Esen.
The company's refined oil products make up almost 40 percent of the local market, reducing the average price of gasoline by almost half.
