Afghanistan, with a population of about 40 million and a GDP of approximately $21 billion in 2023, faces significant economic challenges. The per capita income is around $500. The economy is primarily based on agriculture and natural resources, including minerals. Political instability and ongoing conflict have impeded economic development.

Despite these challenges, there are opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) in mining and agriculture. Efforts to rebuild infrastructure and improve stability could enhance investment prospects in the future.
