There is literally no mention of the US invasion and war fought in Afghanistan for the past two decades. Hard to believe this would not have a significant economic impact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.32.63.34 ( talk) 03:38, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
The lede says $2000 while the info box says $400.
The text states that the Afghan government has "long been pleading" for foreign investment to improve the Afghan economy. Is there any written/oral record of a government agent saying this? I feel that it would be helpful to have an example of this. JaredR95 ( talk) 01:26, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a discussion of the labor force, that is, the availability of people with the skills to improve the economy, the availability of education, and the limitations on the role of women in the labor force? Bill ( talk) 05:13, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

The data here seems very wrong - all public sources say that gdp is not even 20bn USD - why are numbers here so off ? 2406:3003:2001:3B3D:3C54:8E26:8667:56F ( talk) 02:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
There is a bunch of misinformation. 2001:4644:3D49:0:68B2:C43C:26FE:2EBF ( talk) 20:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
All the numbers on this page are wrong. Gdp is barely 20bn usd. 210.176.146.27 ( talk) 04:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Estimates of GDP (PPP) are based on one article, which happens to be the among the top Google search results for 'Afghanistan GDP 2022', from an organization with no international standing.
Figures are estimates based on the informal economy, leading to incredibly inflated figures with no explanation of the rationale or processes that produced such numbers. The organization themselves rate their confidence estimates for each nation-state's figures from A-E, Afghanistan has been rated E ("E: Extremely poor quality").
https://www.worldeconomics.com/Country-Size/Afghanistan.aspx
What is worse is that this page has used the dubious information within the article to produce falsified nominal GDP figures, despite no references within the article itself. The errors have been carried forward to produce falsified GDP rankings and positions that contradict figures within referenced source articles!
As it stands, these figures must be removed. I believe that the most recent official World Bank figures for 2021 be inserted to counter the disinformation that has been left on this page for many weeks now. I will also be referring to figures within the World Bank June 2023 economic monitor report.

It is vital to understand that accurate figures are not yet available due to the lack of information from Taliban-led Afghanistan. While it is tempting to find the most recently available information, this should not be done at the expense of amplifying misleading and falsified information. The World Bank economic monitor reports should be used as a 'next best' source, though it is also incomplete.
Edit: HDI data has also been falsified from a supposed 2023 report that does not exist. The most recent data is from the 2022 report which is based on 2021 data.
