Book excerpt: After twenty-five years of various conflicts, and parallel to the rebuilding of political and societal institutions of the state, Afghanistan is in the process of rebuilding physical infrastructures and economic foundations of the country. Since the collapse of the Taliban regime, with the support of our international partners, our national economy is growing steadily and, over the past four and half years, we have enjoyed a total real GDP growth of 85 percent, while the rate of inflation has been kept at around 10 percent. We have also encouraged foreign direct investment and private sector investors to seize opportunities available in Afghanistan.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afghanistan entered into a new era of its history after the falling of the Taliban in 2001. Since that time, the process of state building, reconstruction and reforms has been going on. In economic aspects, some noteworthy development has been initiated. Despite all the problems and difficulties of business activities, investors (both Afghans and foreigners) have invested in different aspects. Considering these facts, we will focus in this paper on the opportunities and risks exist for doing business in Afghanistan. First I will briefly talk about major characteristic of Afghanistan's economy. In this section, I will try to outline the newest updates about economy of Afghanistan. Although, lack of adequate and accurate statistics is a major problem in Afghanistan, I will rely on the recent available data and statistics from Afghanistan governments and international institutions like World Bank and IMF. In the second part, the business environment will be discussed. The focus will be on opportunities as well as the challenges which exist toward doing business in Afghanistan. Talking about opportunities, one should distinguish between opportunities for national and/or foreign investors and firms for doing business in Afghanistan and opportunities that exists for economic growth in Afghanistan. Considering this distinction and as far as it is related to first type opportunities, I will also talk about the opportunities and potentials of economic growth in Afghanistan. Finally, I will touch on legal and institutional frameworks for doing business in Afghanistan; the last reforms and the needs for change, if any. At the end, considering all the facts and discussed issues, I will come up with suggestions and conclusion about business opportunities and risks in Afghanistan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of turmoil a new phase is opening up for Afghanistan, in which a new generation comes to the fore as many of the key players from earlier phases, including foreign interventionist powers, leave the scene. Although this new phase offers new possibilities and increased hope for Afghanistan’s future, the huge problems created in earlier phases remain. This book presents a comprehensive overall assessment of the current state of politics and society in Afghanistan, outlining the difficulties and discussing the future possibilities. Many of the contributors are Afghans or Afghan insiders, who are able to put forward a much richer view of the situation than outside foreign observers.

This book was released on 2014-07-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afghanistan is transitioning from a state-based model to a free market economy as it continues to rebuild from nearly 30 years of conflict. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Afghanistan's real GDP growth during 2012 accelerated from 6 percent in 2011 to around 12 percent, reflecting a good harvest. After accelerating to double digits during 2011, inflation moderated during 2012, reaching 6 percent year on year. Net international reserves stand at US$6.35 billion (approximately 7 months of imports). The exchange rate has depreciated by 6 percent during 2012 and has depreciated by another 6 percent since the beginning of 2013, though this depreciation is in line with other regional currencies. Deposits in the banking sector have stagnated at about 20 percent of GDP since 2010, and remain highly dollarized (65 percent), reflecting a continued lack of confidence. Credit to the private sector has remained steady since 2012, despite GDP growth, mostly for lack of sound lending opportunities and the general economic and political uncertainty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afghanistan is transitioning from a state-based model to a free market economy as it continues to rebuild from nearly 30 years of conflict. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Afghanistan's real GDP growth during 2013 slowed from 14 percent in 2012 to an estimated 3.6 percent. After accelerating to double digits during 2011, inflation moderated during 2012, reaching 5.9 percent year on year, though accelerated slightly in 2013 to an estimated 7.2 percent. At the end of 2013, net international reserves stood at US$6.4 billion (approximately 7 months of imports). The exchange rate depreciated by 8 percent over 2013 and has depreciated by another 3 percent since the beginning of 2014. The loan-to-deposit ratio has stagnated at about 20-25 percent of GDP since 2011, and both deposits and loans remain highly dollarized (between 70 and 80 percent), reflecting a continued lack of confidence. Credit to the private sector has remained steady since 2011 at approx. 28 percent of GDP, mostly for lack of sound lending opportunities and the general economic and political uncertainty. Illicit opium production remains a major activity, and the total farm-gate value of opium production alone accounted for four percent of GDP in 2012. The Government of Afghanistan (GIRoA), with significant donor support, is improving the country's physical infrastructure and is committed to providing more basic services and humanitarian assistance to its growing population. The international community remains committed to Afghanistan's development, pledging more than $67 billion at nine donors conferences between 2003 and 2010. In July 2012, donors at the Tokyo Conference pledged an additional $16 billion in civilian aid through 2015, and sustaining support, through 2017, at or near levels of the past decade to respond to the fiscal gap as estimated by the World Bank and the Afghan Government. Despite this assistance, GIRoA will need to overcome a number of challenges, including low revenue collection, anemic job creation, high levels of corruption, weak government capacity, and poor public infrastructure.
