A total of 89 traders and industrialists have transferred capital to Afghanistan over the past two years, investing $68 million and directly creating more than 4,000 jobs, the Islamic Emirate said.
Hamdullah Fitrat, deputy spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said the investors had received the necessary facilities and support to establish and expand businesses in the country.
Fitrat said the group includes one large-scale investor, 74 medium-scale investors and 14 small-scale investors.
He added that 288 jeribs of land had been allocated to the investors in industrial parks across Afghanistan.
According to Fitrat, the investments have so far generated direct employment for more than 4,000 people.
He said the documents of a further 15 traders and investors are currently under review. Once the legal procedures are completed, they will also be eligible to receive similar facilities and incentives.
