An aerial views shows a part of the new highway connecting the city of Bar on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast to landlocked neighbour Serbia, (Bar-Boljare highway) on May 11, 2021, near Matesevo, which is being constructed by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), the large state-owned Chinese company. - Two sleek new roads vanish into mountain tunnels high above a sleepy Montenegrin village, the unlikely endpoint of a billion-dollar project that is threatening to derail the tiny country's economy. The government has already burnt through $944 million in Chinese loans to complete the first stretch of road, just 41 kilometres (25 miles), making it among the world's most expensive pieces of tarmac. Chinese workers have spent six years carving tunnels through solid rock and raising concrete pillars above gorges and canyons, but the road in effect goes nowhere. Almost 130 kilometres still needs to be built at a likely cost of at least one billion euros ($1.2 billion). (Photo by SAVO PRELEVIC / AFP)

Svjetska banka zamrznula financiranje Afganistana

Svjetska banka važan je financijer u Afganistanu, dosad su dali pet milijardi dolara

(FILES) In this file photo taken on August 23, 2021 Taliban fighters in a vehicle patrol the streets of Kabul as in the capital, the Taliban have enforced some sense of calm in a city long marred by violent crime, with their armed forces patrolling the streets and manning checkpoints. - When Al-Qaeda hijackers killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001, the United States instantly took on a new mission as a furious and fearful nation coalesced around president George W. Bush's "war on terrorism" that would obliterate the rest of the international agenda. Twenty years later, the world has transformed. An all-consuming focus on terrorism has given way to a weariness about "forever wars"; days before the September 11 anniversary, Taliban militants who had been swiftly defeated after the 2001 attacks seized back power in Afghanistan amid a US withdrawal.

Svjetska banka objavila je da je zamrznula financiranje projekata u Afganistanu nakon što su talibani preuzeli kontrolu u Kabulu. “Obustavili smo isplate u našim poslovima u Afganistanu i pozorno pratimo i procjenjujemo situaciju u skladu s našom internom politikom i procedurama”, izjavila je glasnogovornica Svjetske banke u utorak u Washingtonu.

“Paralelno ćemo se i dalje konzultirati s međunarodnom zajednicom i partnerima u razvoju”, dodala je. “Duboko nas zabrinjava stanje u Afganistanu i utjecaj na razvojne projekte u zemlji, posebno one namijenjene ženama. Zajedno s partnerima istražujemo mogućnosti daljnjeg angažmana kako bi se sačuvali teško izboreni rezultati i nastavila potpora narodu Afganistana”, rekla je.

Dosad dali pet milijardi dolara

Svjetska banka važan je financijer razvojnih projekata u Afganistanu koji spada među najsiromašnije zemlje u svijetu. Navode da su od 2002. do travnja ove godine zemlji osigurali gotovo pet milijardi dolara pomoći.

U veljači aktivno je bilo 12 projekata ukupne vrijednosti oko 940 milijuna dolara, a tome valja dodati i projekte koje realiziraju u suradnji s afganistanskim fondom za obnovu. Međunarodni monetarni fond (MMF) objavio je još prošlog tjedna da do daljnjeg obustavlja suradnju s Afganistanom, podsjeća dpa.
