More than 60 percent of Afghanistan's industrial plants are falling, according to the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment
Tavakol Ahmadiar, head of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment, said the industrial market in Afghanistan was falling and most of the factories operating in the sector were closing.
He adds that in the past 20 years, although progress has been made in attracting investment, facilitating business activities and institutionalizing services, with the advent of the new system, traders and artisans have faced serious challenges.
According to Mr. Ahmadiar, the freezing of traders' money in banks, the denial of money to countries from which traders buy and import goods, and the decline in sales of goods in Afghan markets due to economic problems are the three main reasons for the collapse of industry in Afghanistan.
However, although Maulvi Bilal Karimi, a Taliban government spokesman, blamed the corona virus for the closure of most industrial companies, he said that the Taliban government was working to address the problems in the sector.
