Afghanistan's Regulatory Business Environment: Exploring the Impact on Trade

Wani, Nassir Ul Haq and Hatam, Ahmad Khalid (2022): Afghanistan's Regulatory Business Environment: Exploring the Impact on Trade.

Abstract

Following the recent regime change, Afghanistan is at a crossroads. Economic growth and international trade are key to its stability, yet many obstacles stand in its way. The study investigates the domestic, legal and regulatory landscape to understand the criticality of Afghanistan's regulatory business environment, identifying scope and hindrances to increasing exports and cross-border linkages. This case study outlines business challenges and offers clear policy solutions that will pave the country's way to revive, regenerate, and revitalise its economy. Alongside macroeconomic stability, this study argues that private sector development, technological progress, socio-economic balance, trade liberalisation, and a reinvigoration of exports can play an effective role in wealth creation for Afghanistan.
