Investments increased by 27% over the last year: AISA
The amount of investments in Afghanistan increased by 27% over the previous year, said AISA.
Wafi Allah Iftekhar, president of AISA, said, “Despite rumors from the enemies of Afghanistan, approval of a temporary solution for investment and ease of investment rules has resulted in an increase in the amount of investments in Afghanistan.”
“If the investment processes continuous like this, we will not have any concerns over the anticipated decline in external assistance after the withdrawal of foreign forces in 2014,” he added.
For the first time, a wool washing plant began operations in the Arghandi district of Kabul province.
Officials in this factory said, “This factory costs $1,500,000 dollars and currently, there are jobs for 300 people.”
Last year, President Karzai ordered the Ministry of Economic and Fiscal development to make solutions for local production.
Now those solutions are resulting in increased investment from medium and large investors.
