Afghanistan: Forward-looking snapshot of the Afghan economy

This brief draws from a rapid review of recently published reports by leading organisations on the Afghan economy, including the World Bank, UNDP, and the Afghanistan National Statistics and Information Authority. Eight experts on the Afghan economy were interviewed, with a focus on economic outlook scenarios and key economic constraints. Experts were identified through their involvement in key economic institutions, such as the Afghan Fund, or for their active work on the Afghan economy either inside or outside Afghanistan. This brief was written as a collaboration between ACAPS and an economist specialising on Afghanistan.
