The head of “Barki Tojik,” Mahmadumar Asozoda, stated on August 2 at a press conference that due to the difficult situation in the region and the world, some banks have come under sanctions, making it difficult to transfer funds from “Breshna” to “Barki Tojik.” It was reported that the situation worsened with the Taliban’s rise to power, when Afghan banks were sanctioned.

The head of “Barki Tojik” stated that the management of “Breshna” is currently working on resolving this issue. Mahmadumar Asozoda noted that in July of this year, “Breshna” transferred 2 million dollars to the account of “Barki Tojik.”

The head of “Barki Tojik” also reported that electricity is being supplied to Afghanistan without problems, and in the first six months of this year, Tajikistan supplied over 734 million kWh of electricity to Afghanistan.

According to the agreement, electricity is supplied to Afghanistan at a price of 4.67 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Even after the Taliban came to power in Afghanistan, Tajikistan remains one of the main suppliers of electricity to this country. At the same time, the Tajik authorities are staunch critics of the Taliban government.

In addition to Afghanistan, electricity from Tajikistan is also supplied to Uzbekistan. In the first six months of this year, 321.2 million kWh of electricity was supplied to Uzbekistan.

According to official data, in 2021, the creditor’s debt of “Barki Tojik” amounted to 32.3 billion somoni (about 3.1 billion dollars).
