Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce Highlights Private Sector’s Role in Economic Growth
The Deputy of Investment at the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment emphasized the essential role of strengthening the private sector for sustainable economic growth and job creation during a consultative meeting at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Kabul.
According to a statement released by the Chamber, he identified creating a conducive environment for investment as an urgent need for Afghanistan’s economy. He highlighted that encouraging both domestic and foreign investors and expanding cooperation between governmental bodies and the private sector could pave the way for economic growth. He further stressed that without active participation and practical support of the private sector, achieving sustainable development would be challenging.
The Deputy also underscored the importance of greater coordination among economic institutions, investors, and international partners, adding that sustained support for economic activities could contribute to the country’s economic stability — a matter that has faced significant challenges in recent years.
Participants of the meeting also exchanged views on strategies to improve the business environment, increase investment levels, and the pivotal role of the private sector in Afghanistan’s economic growth. They emphasized the necessity of establishing clear and predictable policies to build investor confidence.
