Thu 03 August 2023:
The interim government in Afghanistan Tuesday called on World Bank to resume incomplete projects in the war-torn country.
Welcoming the latest World Bank report on Afghanistan, the Taliban-led interim Economic Affairs Office said in a statement that the comprehensive economic development and progress in Afghanistan “can be achieved through constructive engagement from the international community, lifting sanctions, and unfreezing assets.”
The World Bank report stated that the prices of food and oil have dropped, the value of the afghani currency against foreign currencies has remained stable, there has been a significant increase in exports, the salaries of government employees have been paid on time and there has been an increase in the level of national income.
In addition to disseminating “factual information,” the Taliban called on the World Bank to “resume and complete the projects that were previously funded but remain unfinished.”
It urged international organizations to “transparently share Afghanistan’s developments, allowing the world to comprehend the actual situation in the country and the strides being made.”
Boasting decreasing inflation in the country, the Economic Affairs Office said the value of Afghani (Afghanistan’s official currency) against foreign currencies has strengthened which has “led to lower prices for both food and non-food items.”
