Afghanistan’s infrastructure base remains severely underdeveloped after decades of conflict, with major gaps in transport, electricity generation and water systems. Connectivity projects linking Central and South Asia have been viewed as potential drivers of trade and economic stabilisation. However, limited fiscal space, sanctions-related financial isolation and weak institutional capacity significantly constrain infrastructure financing and private investment. Sustainable development will depend on improved governance frameworks, regional cooperation and gradual restoration of investor confidence.

Iran is investing in energy and utility infrastructure, including power plants, electricity grids and renewable energy installations, to enhance energy security and support industrial development across provinces. Significant water and electricity projects aim to expand generation capacity and distribution networks, while some petrochemical hubs and industrial zones are being developed to leverage the country’s resource base. Investment strategies combine public financing with efforts to attract private and foreign capital, particularly in renewable sectors, but are heavily influenced by sanctions-related restrictions and geopolitical risks. Improving institutional capacity, managing energy-related environmental stresses, and diversifying economic drivers beyond hydrocarbons are central to sustainable infrastructure development.
