Afghanistan Economic Monitor (January 25, 2023) - Afghanistan (ReliefWeb)

Analysis in English on Afghanistan about Food and Nutrition and Shelter and Non-Food Items; published on 25 Jan 2023 by World Bank.

Major imports include mineral products (24 percent), vegetable products (20 percent), and textiles (9 percent) – collectively contributing 54 percent of total imports. Major exports include vegetable products (56 percent), mineral products (28 percent), and textiles (10 percent) – collectively contributing 94 percent of total exports. Of the total imports, Iran (23 percent), Pakistan (16 percent), and China (14 percent) were the main import origins. The data collected by the TPMA shows that the twenty-three hundred supported facilities received around 3.3 million antenatal visits and provided 691,234 assisted births in 2022. The 3.9 percentage point Y-o-Y decline between November 2022 and December 2022 can be explained by a drop in inflation of fuel (8 percentage points), wheat (5.1 percentage points), sugar (2.7 percentage points), cooking oil (2.2 percentage points), bread (1.5 percentage points), etc. Revenue from inland sources reached AFN61 billion (US$ 0.7 billion) from March 21 till the end of December 2022, of which non-tax sources contributed the most. Also, according to third-party monitoring data, 98% of health facilities had a female health worker present during verification visits between July and October 2022. Demand for both skilled and unskilled labor has been declining since the beginning of the winter. In parallel, the money service providers (MSPs) report some foreign exchange shortages in the open market. The central bank (DAB) is undertaking occasional auctions in the forex market. Overall revenue collection reached AFN135.9 billion (US$ 1.54 billion) between March 22, 2022, and December 21, 2022, in line with 2020 results. According to the official statistics, headline year-on-year (YoY) inflation in November 2022 decelerated to 9.1 percent from its peak of 18.3 percent in July 2022.

Yet, in light of the severe threat that kleptocratic adaptation poses, it is imperative that democracies rise to the challenge. Granted, the scope and scale of the policy progress needed to respond to kleptocratic adaptation effectively is significant. In failing to recognize and appropriately respond to kleptocracy, policymakers have jeopardized their own strategic interests and the broader rules-based international order. In addition, many democracies have become entangled in global kleptocratic networks, mortgaging their institutional integrity and strategic stability for perceived economic and geopolitical gains. In response, kleptocratic regimes refined their own tactics, finding new ways to weaponize corruption and fund corrosive enterprises with their ill-gotten gains. Democracies reacted with speed and unity to sanction Russian oligarchs, freeze their assets, and introduce legislation to close opportunities for kleptocratic influence.
