Taliban Finance Official Discusses Investment Opportunities in Afghanistan with Indian Business Leaders

Abdul Matin Said, Deputy Minister for Customs and Revenue at the Taliban-run Ministry of Finance, met with a number of Indian investors to discuss existing investment opportunities in Afghanistan.

According to a statement from the ministry, Said claimed that the Taliban administration has facilitated conditions for industrialists and traders, and that efforts are ongoing to introduce further economic incentives. He also spoke about the expansion of Afghanistan-India relations, particularly in trade and investment sectors.

During the meeting, the Indian investors expressed readiness to invest in areas such as the production of human, agricultural, and veterinary medicines, the application of modern technologies in agriculture and mining, as well as in capacity-building programs for Afghan professionals.

Officials at the Ministry of Finance stated that the realization of these investments could contribute to job creation, the transfer of technical knowledge, and the strengthening of economic growth in the country. However, economic experts have consistently emphasized that the fulfillment of such commitments requires stability, transparency, and a guaranteed secure environment for investment.
