Kurmanbek Bakiyev said 2006 should be an "economic breakthrough" for the Central Asian state, which is one of the poorest former Soviet republics.
He said the state authorities work toward securing annual GDP growth at 10-12% and making Kyrgyzstan a prosperous country.
The country's per capital GDP in terms of purchasing power parity is estimated at $1,800, far lower than neighboring Kazakhstan's level of $8,700 and Russia's $10,700.
Bakiyev ordered the government to involve leading state and independent experts in drafting a development strategy for the country.
"A country such as Kyrgyzstan, which possesses good intellectual and human potential, and real resources for economic development, cannot be poor," he said.
