Kyrgyz Finance Minister Details Grueling Work Schedule

Kyrgyzstan's Finance Minister Ruslan Suinaliev described his demanding work schedule, often extending late into the night, during a project titled 'Open Cabinet: Territory of Responsibility'. His typical workday begins at 8:00 AM but frequently stretches until 9:00 PM or later due to the sheer volume of tasks.

Suinaliev revealed that he personally reviews and signs as many as 50 documents each day. This high workload underscores the critical and wide-ranging responsibilities of the Ministry of Finance. He noted that his family understands and supports his demanding schedule.

"The Ministry of Finance is not a narrow focus, but a department that encompasses all ministries," Suinaliev explained. He emphasized that no other government body can operate without the ministry's positive conclusion and determination of funding sources. All ministries submit their projects and cabinet decisions to the Ministry of Finance for review and approval regarding budget allocation and financial viability.

This highlights the central role the Ministry of Finance plays in the government's operations, acting as a key gatekeeper for all financial decisions and project implementations across various state institutions.

“

The Ministry of Finance is not a narrow focus, but a department that encompasses all ministries. None of them can work without our positive conclusion and determination of funding sources. All ministries send their projects, decisions, and cabinet orders where our conclusion is necessary. We must determine the sources of funding and the state of the budget.
