Afghanistan's economic growth is projected at 4.3% by @WorldBank
To put it into perspective:
#Afghanistan needs to grow at 25% for the next 10 years to reach GDP per capita size similar to that of Bangladesh.
Afghanistan is economically crippled.
Free markets, inclusive government and an internationally recognised enterprising nation can get Afghanistan out of this death spiral.
Time to act is now. Poverty kills more than bombs.

Approximately 85 percent of people in #Afghanistan live on less than $1 dollar a day.
That makes Afghanistan the poorest nation in Asia.

#Afghanistan’s severe economic and environmental collapse:
Today, an alarming 70% of the population lives below the poverty line.
Economic paralysis, mass unemployment and the freezing of national assets.
