The Ministry of Energy and Water is striving to create more facilities to pave the way for investment in the energy production and water management sectors.Matiullah Abid, spokesperson of the ministry, said that so far, in addition to domestic companies, firms from China, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, and Turkey have held discussions with the ministry regarding investment."China, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey, and several other countries have expressed interest in investing in Afghanistan’s water and energy sectors. Turkey has already made practical investments in this area,” stated the spokesperson.Some economic experts believe that given Afghanistan’s existing energy resources, investment in this sector could lead the country toward self-sufficiency in energy production.“Developing a plan for neighboring countries and investors interested in Afghanistan can be beneficial and satisfying for them. Especially, working on hydro-sites that generate low-cost energy is important,” said Mohammad Asif Stanekzai, an economic analyst.“Ministries should have clear plans and strategies for investors and should request foreign countries, through an organized platform, to produce electricity affordably and easily within Afghanistan,” said another economic expert, Mohammad Nabi Afghan.Since the Islamic Emirate regained power, some domestic and international companies have shown interest in investing in sectors such as mining, agriculture, healthcare, water management, energy production, and road construction in Afghanistan.
