aus dem o.g. link . denn so was ist für unser stans investment 100x mehr wert als die ganzen BB-Kaffeesatzlesereien. denn wenn die jorcs stimmen, ist dieses politische backing grundsätzlich und in so einer ecke der welt ehedem, x-mal wichtiger als jeder startegische Investor oder sonstwas: The opening of the old production plant also indicates optimism on the part of Stans Energy that new rare earth deposits will be found in Kyrgyzstan’s Switzerland-like mountain landscape. Kyrgyzstan’s location near the world’s main rare earths mining centers, and the fact that rare earths always seem to be found near uranium and gold deposits suggest the company is correct. The reopening of the rare earths plant also indicates the first steps toward international investor confidence in Kyrgyzstan following the establishment in early December of a new, democratic coalition government under Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev. Atambayev has been energetic in efforts to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), especially in mining, metallurgy and industry back to his country. His governing coalition also includes the pro-business Respublika party. The Stans Energy announcement, indeed, gives the Kyrgyz mining sector a boost it never received during former President Kurmanbek Bakiev’s disastrous five years in power. And it confirms Central Asia Newswire’s (CAN) prediction at the end of last year that if Kyrgyzstan could maintain political stability, its economic development prospects could be surprisingly bright. This is especially the case as general commodities prices -- especially for gold, silver and copper and rare earths -- have been rising strongly in recent months and look likely to continue doing so. The reopening of the Kutessay plant now and the fact that it sat idle for so long also contrasts with the disregard and ineptitude with which the previous administrations of presidents Bakiev and Askar Akaev managed the country’s assets in comparison to the current administration. The positive implications of the Stans Energy Corp’s decision to reopen Kutessay are many and multi-faceted. It may be time to become more optimistic about Kyrgyzstan’s economic future.
