Following the recent change in regime, Afghanistan is at a crossroads. Key to its stability is economic growth and international trade, yet many obstacles stand in its way. In Policy Solutions for Economic Growth in a Developing Country, author Nassir Ul Haq Wani outlines these challenges and offers clear policy solutions that will put the country on a path to revive, regenerate, and revitalize its economy. Further, he contextualizes Afghanistan within the region, giving greater insight into the needs of other developing countries.
This in-depth study analyses the trading platform at national, international and regional levels for initiating a consistent and sustainable set of policies to promote exports. Alongside macroeconomic stability, this study argues that private sector development, technological progress, socio-economic balance, trade liberalization and a reinvigoration of exports can play an effective role in wealth creation for Afghanistan.
Perspectives on Afghanistan’s Trade and Development offers a rich and varied policy analysis for those who wish to design a policy to bolster exports from Afghanistan, and for academicians, researchers and students who wish to gain greater insight into this developing economy.
First of its kind, comprehensive and illuminating insight into Afghanistan with concrete recommendations on how the country can thrive and help itself reform its trade and trade relations with the world.
