The new report of the United Nations on the economic situation of Afghanistan shows that the ban on girls’ education and the ban on women’s work have caused unprecedented damage to this country and kept it the poorest country in the world.

The new report of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) on Afghanistan’s economy was published on Tuesday (April 18) under the title “Afghanistan’s socio-economic outlook – 2023”.

The report shows that without girls’ continued education and women’s ability to work, Afghanistan’s prospects for recovery will remain bleak.

This report details how Afghanistan’s economic production will fall by 20.7% in 2021.

The United Nations Deputy Mission in Kabul (UNAMA) shared this report and said that this unique damage has kept Afghanistan among the poorest countries in the world. “Despite the initial signs of recovery such as a relatively stable exchange rate, increasing exports, increasing demand. “For power and inflation, GDP is projected to decline by 3.6 percent in 2022.”

UNAMA has also warned that restrictions on women will further threaten the flow of aid and cause catastrophic economic consequences.
