| description |
This Note examines the potential of the
mining sector to be a source of growth for the Afghanistan
economy. In order to address this fundamental and strategic
issue, this Note will ask and provide answers to three
principal questions. First, what is the potential in
Afghanistan for large and small scale minerals development?
Second, given the potential, what are the constraints for
development of the sector in terms of the enabling
environment (policy, regulatory, taxation) for private
investment, institutional capacities, infrastructure and
other constraints? And, third, what would be a reasonable
sector development scenario over the next five years and
what could be the benefit streams (production value, taxes,
jobs, value added, etc.) generated under such a scenario? It
is intended that the Note serve as a baseline document to
help the government reflect on sector policies and
strategies and to provide a "roadmap" for
development of the sector. The roadmap will help the
government to know where it wishes t o go, how it intends to
get there, what obstacles and impediments it may face along
the way, and what it can reasonably expect to receive in
terms of economic and social impacts. This, in turn, will
serve as the basis for the development of enabling
legislation and fiscal mechanisms for the sector as well as
for institutional strengthening required to stimulate investment. |
