KABUL: The inter-ministerial investment committee has approved plans for the construction of commercial markets by the private sector on state-owned land in Nangarhar and Takhar provinces.
The office of the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs said today that the commercial markets will be built in the centers of Nangarhar and Takhar provinces with a total investment of 143 million Afghanis from the private sector.
According to the statement, one underground commercial market, featuring 183 shops and requiring an investment of 95 million Afghanis, will be constructed on land belonging to the municipality of Jalalabad.
Additionally, another commercial market with 104 shops and an investment of 48 million Afghanis is set to be built on land belonging to the municipality in Taloqan, the capital of Takhar province.
The implementation of joint projects between the government and the private sector has increased following the return of the Islamic Emirate’s rule in Afghanistan.
Economic experts believe that these investments will not only create job opportunities but also enhance investor confidence for future investments in the country.
