The United Nations: UN Development Agency said Afghanistan depends on the threshold of “universal poverty” which can come true in mid-next year except urgent efforts to improve their local and economic community.
It is said that the takeover of the Afghan Taliban has placed a steady 20-year economic increase with risk.
The UN development program describes four scenarios for Afghanistan after the force assumption of August Taliban which predicts the country’s GDP will decrease between 3.6% and 13.2% in the next fiscal year starting June 2022, depending on the intensity of the crisis and how.
Many worlds are involved with the Taliban.
It is very contrast to the growth of 4% which is expected in GDP before the government’s fall.
“Afghanistan is quite a lot of universal poverty in the middle of next year,” Kanni Wignaraja, the ASIA-Pacific Director of UNDP, said at a press conference on Thursday launched a 28-page rating.
“That’s where we go – 97-98% (poverty level) no matter how you do this projection.” At present, the poverty rate is 72% and Wignaraja refers to many rising development after the Taliban is overthrown from power in 2001: per capita income is more than double in the last 20 years, life expectancy at birth is extended around nine years, many years Schools rise from six to 10, “and we got a woman to the university.” But he said Afghanistan now faces “human disaster and development” resulting from political instability, frozen foreign exchange reserves, the public financial system that collapses, “crush on local banking because of this,” and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
