Afghan Economic Projects Suspended For Lack Of Funds
The Ministry of Finance requested between $200 million and $250 million from Afghanistan donors to continue work on a number of development programs.
The suspension of all optional projects by the Ministry of Finance has raised concerns among citizens, saying this will lead the country into greater poverty and will increase the unemployment rate.
The Ministry of Finance on Saturday announced the suspension of optional projects whose total value in the National Budget Document reached 89 billion Afghanis (over $1 billion).
But the Ministry of Economy says that the government's economic institutions are looking for a way to curb the negative impact of the current situation on the lives of citizens.
But the question being raised is how is it possible that the suspension of the optional budget will not worsen the economic situation in the country? There is a list of construction projects that have been stopped due to lack of funding and are not being implemented at the moment.
With the enforcement of the decision by the Ministry of Finance, the projects of several companies have been suspended recently, and their workers are now unemployed.
