In modern times, Afghanistan is synonymous with conflict, instability, crippling poverty, and opium production. That said, the country, which was heavily dependent on remittances and international aid before Kabul fell to the Taliban, did make progress on various parameters after the 2001 US invasion. According to IMF estimates in June, Afghanistan's GDP was on course to grow by 2.7 per cent this year. The country received remittances worth $789 million last year, which accounted for four per cent of its GDP, according to the World Bank.More Related News
