Economic Overview

The Afghanistan economy has improved significantly since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001, largely due to the infusion of international aid, the recovery of the agricultural sector and service sector growth.

The global community remains committed to financially supporting Afghanistan’s rebuilding process following decades of conflict, pledging over $67bn between 2003-10. In July 2012, the donors at the Tokyo conference pledged an additional $16bn in civilian aid through to 2015.
