recent World Bank report reveals a 26% decrease in Afghanistan's
gross output over the past year, primarily attributed to a 1.3
billion USD income reduction for farmers due to the ban on drug
cultivation. Although tax revenue saw a modest increase of 13%
in 2023, exports experienced a 15% decline specifically to
Pakistan. Afghan officials highlighted efforts to spur domestic
production, improve trade, stabilize the national currency, and
initiate key economic projects. EPA/QUDRATULLAH RAZWAN (ANSA).
