Afghanistan's economy, valued at $17.33 billion, grows modestly. Agriculture, industry, and services contribute, with fruits and gems as key exports and machinery as imports. Challenges include unemployment, poverty, and frozen assets. Recent Taliban policies, like import bans, alongside UN aid and stable exchange rates, support recovery. Mining contracts aim to boost revenue. Afghanistan focuses on stabilizing its economy through resource development and international aid, seeking to rebuild amidst ongoing political and security challenges.
