Hello, I have found information on a new banknote printer based in Kyrgyzstan:
I read these news articles about it:
https://timesca.com/kyrgyzstan-begins-domestic-printing-of-national-currency-banknotes/
https://en.kabar.kg/news/kyrgyzstan-starts-issuing-its-national-currency/
https://24.kg/english/323788_Kyrgyzstan_starts_printing_national_currency/
https://casp.kg/tpost/d6dimcc9d1-launch-of-banknote-production
According to them, this company has already been printing passports and other security documents and are starting to print some Kyrgyz banknotes domestically within the country in small batches for the first time.
The name of the printer (Russian): Открытое акционерное общество "Учкун"
The name of the printer (English): Open Joint Stock Company Uchkun
The website of the printer: https://oaouchkun.kg
A banknote printed by them: this piece of commemorative paper exonumia(?) that has not been listed on the Numista catalogue yet. I got this picture from one of the news sourches.
It is unknown when this printer started operating, it is very hard to find this information.
Thanks,
Kiet
