Locations
Afghanistan
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.

Pakistan
Pakistan prioritizes transport infrastructure, energy projects, and urban development to support industrial growth and trade connectivity. Large-scale initiatives under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have expanded road networks, power generation, and port facilities. Financing relies on public spending, external borrowing, and foreign investment, particularly from China. Fiscal pressures, debt sustainability, and governance reforms remain central to long-term infrastructure outcomes.
