Kyrgyzstan's Tamchy special financial investment territory (SFIT) ranked first in Asia and second worldwide in the Rising Stars category of the Global Free Zones of the Year 2026 ranking. Financial Times unit fDi Intelligence published the results on October 15. The UK's Liverpool City Region Innovation Zone took first place in the category.

Ten free zones established since January 2024 competed in the category. Judges cited Tamchy's strategy for attracting international companies, its special legal regime, tax incentives and the freedom to repatriate profits. A 49-year tax exemption applies to residents' activities within the territory.

The territory, covering about 6,000 hectares on the Issyk-Kul coast, was officially opened on July 3, 2026, with President Sadyr Japarov taking part. Its first residents are companies from Switzerland, South Korea, Hong Kong, Kazakhstan and the UAE, and more than 30 other firms are registering.
