Gross domestic Products Afghanistan in past 10 years during the President Karzai: Afghanistan’s economic freedom could not be graded because of a lack of reliable comparable data. The government’s compilations of official economic data are not comprehensive, and many of the international sources relied upon for Index grading contain incomplete data on Afghanistan. This assessment is based on the limited data available from government and international sources. Over the past 10 years, Afghanistan has undergone a challenging economic transition requiring significant institutional development. Growth rates have been high but volatile. Real GDP growth, driven mainly by agriculture and construction, has averaged almost 10 percent over the past five years. Large volumes of foreign aid have yielded some improvements in such areas as health and education. Operating under difficult developmental circumstances, Afghanistan remains severely burdened by numerous systemic shortcomings worsened by ongoing security challenges. The government’s weakness, exacerbated by vested interests and corruption, has hindered politically difficult policy reforms and eroded trust. Previously implemented reform measures have not been sustained, with political uncertainties further undermining progress in economic reconstruction. Abdul Raqib Karimy.
