Afghanistan, European Union, and United States met on December 9th 2015, in Islamabad, on the margins of the Heart of Asia Ministerial

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the European Union, and the United States of America met on December 9th 2015, in Islamabad, on the margins of the Heart of Asia Ministerial. Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, and Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service Helga Schmid led the delegations. Discussions focused on the preparations for the 2016 Warsaw and Brussels Conferences on Afghanistan and the latest regional security and economic developments. The U.S. and Afghanistan welcomed the decision taken by the European Union to host the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan on October 4-5, 2016.  The three sides agreed to work together to support preparations for the Brussels Conference, and ensure that the efforts of the Afghan government and the donor community are closely aligned in the spirit of mutual accountability. They agreed that the Brussels and Warsaw conferences were important opportunities to support t

How to get Iran’s Economy back on Track

Some observers in Iran believe that the national economy needs a coordinator rather than a command center to put everything in order. In other words, a group that has good relations with major market players and open ears to domestic and foreign advisers. However, given the chronic maladies the Iranian economy has been suffering from — inflation, reliance on oil sales, bureaucracy and, more significantly, institutionalized corruption — it would be simplistic to assume that the widespread conflicts of interest between rival groups can be addressed in the absence of an influential and authoritative command center. The complicated nature of the Iranian economy might indeed have been the very motivation behind Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s call in August for the formation of a resistance economy command headquarters for the post-sanctions era. In this vein, the key questions are: Who will lead this headquarters and how will it manage to succeed? At present, the main economic

Dal crowdfunding al coworking, crescono in Italia le forme di economia collaborativa

Dal crowdfunding al coworking, l'economia collaborativa in Italia cresce e prende forme coerenti alla nostra realtà socio-economica.   In questo fermento, le città metropolitane si possono rivelare “grandi asset di convergenza per attirare attenzione, talenti, investimenti internazionali.

Construction works of Kamal Khan dam in Nimroz province of Afghanistan successfully completed after 49 years

Kamal Khan dam was one of the major development projects of Afghanistan. Afghan government is in search of financial sources to fund the third phase of the dam. With the completion of the third phase Afghan government will be able to control Helmand river’s water. The Kamal Khan dam consists of three phases: the first phase was completed by a Tajik construction company in 2012, and the second phase was completed in 2015. The completion of the construction of the second phase was delayed due to lack of funds. The dam has the capacity to produce 8.5MW of electricity and to irrigate 80,000 hectares of land. The dam is being constructed on the Helmand River in Chahar Burjak district of Nimroz province. The construction work on the vital project had begun in 1973 but held in abeyance due to country’s security situation.

Farmers in Herat Province have shown that saffron cultivation could replace poppy production as a lucrative means of income

Herat Province, Afghanistan – “Saffron, the most precious gift of Herat Province!” This note appears on the window of a small kiosk at Herat International Airport garnering the attention of travelers. “Whenever I come to Herat, friends ask me to buy them some saffron; demand is high and saffron is expensive so I cannot buy for everyone; I take only for some,” says 30-year-old Nisar Ahmad. He is a resident of Kabul and visits Herat every once in a while and believes that saffron makes the best gift. According to the National Union of Saffron Growers (NUSG), Herat Province currently produces more than 90 percent of Afghanistan’s saffron although farmers in 25 other provinces grow it too. More than 6,000 Herati farmers grow saffron and some 18 companies sell and export it abroad. Saffron production reaches 3 tons annually in this province, 60-80 percent of which is exported. NUSG’s data also show saffron cultivation is more prevalent in Ghoryan, Pashtun Zarghoon, Enjil and Gozara compar

Putin gives 10,000 Kalashnikov AK-47 to Kabul for supporting Afghan forces in their fight against terrorists and smugglers

The weapons are expected to arrive in Kabul in next 20 days and will be handed over to the Interior Ministry. Russian officials have rejected rumors of directly fighting Daesh in Afghanistan, saying they will extend any assistance to Afghan government for eliminating any opponent armed group. The Russian Federation has assured of staying with Kabul in its fight against terrorists and smugglers which not only threaten the People of Afghanistan, but all the former USSR.

Iran is going to launch new five liquefied natural gas factories over the next 3 years

The Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to increase its share in global gas trade by launching five liquefied natural gas (LNG) factories over the next 3 years. The Managing director of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), Hamidreza Araqi, made the remarks during the International Gas Union’s (IGU) natural gas working group, adding currently Islamic Republic of Iran exports gas to three neighboring countries including Azerbaijan Republic, Armenia and Turkey and will start natural gas exports to Iraq in near future. He said negotiations are underway for exports of natural gas to five other neighboring countries as well, including Afghanistan. Iran’s gas output will hit as much as 330 billion cubic meters in 2017 which in turn will raise the capacity for natural gas exports. NIGC has development of four gas storage projects on the agenda of which two projects have come online so far. More than 35 companies from the Netherlands have expressed their willingness for participation i

В Пакистане работаю 100 тысяч мастеров ковроткачества из Афганистана

В основном мастера, эмигрировавшие из Афганистана, осели в Пешаваре, Аттоке, Новшере, Сваби и Лахоре. Изготовленные ими ковры продаются под лейблами Пакистана, что наносит большой ущерб экономике ИРА и престижу афганских мастеров. Большую часть прибыли получают не производители ковров, а те, кто реализует изделия на международных рынках. Пока что ковры, произведённые в Афганистане, ценятся выше, чем пакистанские, однако система налогообложения и недостаток профильных производств затрудняют развитие данного вида рукоделия с многовековыми традициями в ИРА.

Signed final agreement on CASA-1000 Project

Energy ministers of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan signed in Istanbul the final agreement on the implementation of the CASA-1000 Project. A World Bank-led project, CASA-1000 is a transnational project that hopes to address the energy needs of South Asia by directing some of the energy resources from Central Asia, which is endowed with some of the world’s most abundant clean hydro-power cascades, through Afghanistan. Lacking access to sea, Central Asia has no option but to get linked to neighboring states. Owed to its strategic location, Afghanistan is the only possible route option for the CASA-1000 Project. It offers the most direct route for transfer of energy from the Kyrgyzstan Republic and Tajikistan to the energy-hungry Pakistan. Bypassing Afghanistan would add strenuous cost to the project that could make it prohibitive. The project involves transferring 1000 Megawatts of electricity to Pakistan through Afghanistan and 300 Megawatts of electricity to Afghan

Afghanistan setting up secondary bond market

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan plans to set up a secondary bond market in order to allow for existing bonds to expand their trade beyond commercial banks, who are the only investors at the moment. The Governor of the Central Bank of Afghanistan said the country was not yet ready to establish a stock exchange, even though some private investors have been pressing for it. “We have to start with a bond market rather than stocks, It’s easier. A stock market needs a relatively secure and safe environment,” said the Governor of the Central Bank of Afghanistan. The Afghan Central Bank, Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), has issued bonds with maturity of 7 and 28 days, six months and one year to the tune of USD 520mn. The rate for one-year bond is about 6.8-7%.

Fare Affari in Afghanistan

I progressi in ambito economico compiuti dall'Afghanistan negli ultimi 10 anni sono stati notevoli, in particolar modo se considerato lo stato di estremo degrado e le devastazioni causate da oltre venticinque anni di guerra e di isolamento. Tre decadi di conflitto non hanno piegato il tradizionale spirito imprenditoriale degli afgani, alimentato anche dal ritorno della diaspora. Dal 2002 ad oggi il Prodotto Interno Lordo del Paese è cresciuto di oltre il 70%, con tassi medi superiori all'8% annuo, un tasso di inflazione in costante calo, i conti con l'estero in attivo. Molte imprese straniere hanno già effettuato investimenti nel Paese, stimolando settori prima pressochè inesistenti quali la telefonia mobile (più di 20 milioni di utenti - in rapida crescita - e sei operatori telefonici), le compagnie aree, il sistema bancario, quest'ultimo ancora fragile ma in rapida stabilizzazione. La capitale, e le principali città del Paese presentano segni tangibili di ripresa
