Follow on Google News | New Market Research Report: Central Asia: A Resource Hub Shaken by WarRecently published research from Datamonitor, "Central Asia: A Resource Hub Shaken by War", is now available at Fast Market Research
Scope * An overview of how politics, regional trade and energy needs are inter-related in Central and South Asia, a region plagued with war and poverty * Insight into the potential for a thriving energy trading bloc once peace has returned to the region * An understanding of the development plans that have been in the pipeline since war in Afghanistan began * Analysis of the region's energy balance, highlighting the different needs of these neighbouring countries and the potential for co-operation Highlights Were it not for war, Afghanistan would be a major energy market thanks to its plentiful resources and competent energy ministry. Although Afghanistan has very little generation capacity this is not a priority whilst it imports so much power from Uzbekistan. Regional co-operation has helped Uzbekistan to become an invaluable asset to its neighbors. Natural gas is Uzbekistan's future and has already established the country as a key resource hub for the region. The country has been a net exporter for years. It has chosen wisely to upgrade infrastructure so that its exports remain reliable Turkmenistan has exploited the global demand for natural gas by signing huge contracts with China but it is struggling to adapt to a market without Russia. To secure a portfolio of buyers it needs to look to its neighbors. Gas is Turkmenistan's primary asset but maintaining large potential export volumes will become the country's main challenge. Reasons to Purchase * Plan investment opportunities in a region awaiting foreign involvement. Identify the opportunities and develop an understanding of your chosen market * Develop an informed opinion of a key region's outlook. Analyse the tactics these countries have employed to develop whilst facing conflict * Gain a thought leading perspective on a region's changing investment environment and consider the wider implications on the global energy market For more information or to purchase this report, go to: - http://www.fastmr.com/ Partial Table of Contents: TABLE OF CONTENTS Overview 2 Catalyst 2 Summary 2 Background 2 Afghanistan 8 Were it not for war, Afghanistan would be a major energy market thanks to its plentiful resources and competent energy ministry 8 Investment is arriving in drips and drabs, but war continues to obstruct the priority regions 8 Afghanistan's Ministry of Water and Power formulated an energy roadmap in 2002; how well has it fared now that 2010 has been reached? 10 Afghanistan has very little generation capacity, although this is not a priority whilst it imports so much power from Uzbekistan 11 Uzbekistan 12 Regional co-operation has helped Uzbekistan to become an invaluable asset to its neighbors 12 Uzbekistan has formulated an effective plan for improving its energy efficiency record 12 Uzbekistan has been a net exporter for years.
