The World Bank will not resume work in Afghanistan until the political issue is resolved
The World Bank will not resume work in Afghanistan until the country the political issue will not be settled. In particular, we are talking about the recognition of the government led by the Taliban movement (banned in the Russian Federation as a terrorist movement). 1TV News writes about this.
Until the Taliban is recognized by the whole world, the international financial structure will not resume its activities. World Bank President David Malpass believes that this is one of the priority issues that must be decided by the heads of different states.
After the change of government in Afghanistan in mid-August, Western countries froze international funds, including financial assets, to which the country could access through the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. This is one of the reasons that provoked a deep economic crisis. For example, currently in Afghanistan there is a massive withdrawal of funds, and most banks do not work and do not provide a full range of services.
