While there are major barriers to collecting reliable information on the Afghan economy under the current conditions, the World Bank has resumed collecting and analyzing economic data. Their findings are encapsulated in two new reports: a survey of 100 Afghan private firms and the World Bank’s first Afghanistan Development Update since the Taliban takeover.
Join USIP for a discussion on the economic situation in Afghanistan since the U.S withdrawal, the travails of the Afghan private sector and prospects for the future. Experts from the World Bank will outline their newly released reports and — joined by other Afghanistan experts — discuss the key problems facing private businesses, as well as what Afghan authorities and international partners can and should do to prevent further economic deterioration.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
