The World Bank announced the resumption of the Central Asia-South Asia (CASA-1000) power transmission project, aimed at transmitting electricity from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Pakistan via Afghanistan. The project, suspended following political changes in Afghanistan in 2021, is now set to be “ring-fenced” from the Afghan financial system, ensuring all transactions occur outside the domestic payment systems and in full compliance with the World Bank’s environmental and social standards. Approximately 18% of the necessary infrastructure was completed before the suspension, with the project’s completion expected to take around three years.
