Financing of the World Bank projects (WB) in Afghanistan is temporarily terminated, since the Taliban’s terrorist movement (prohibited in Russia) came to power in the country. About it reports The Wall Street Journal.
The organization was concerned about the development of the situation in Afghanistan, therefore decided to freeze the country assistance program. In total, the World Bank provided $ 5.3 billion from 2002 to Afghanistan.
As of August of this year, the Bank financed 27 projects worth more than two billion dollars. Projects, for example, related to the development of agriculture and payment systems in Afghanistan. The World Bank noted that he cannot allocate money from the country if its government is not recognized by all 189 by the member states of the WB.
Earlier, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said that Afghanistan would not be able to access help from the organization. The IMF was supposed to list Afghanistan over $ 370 million on August 23 in the framework of the global struggle against the economic crisis.
