KABUL, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Afghanistan's economy is projected to grow by around 4 percent in 2026, supported by stronger domestic demand, rising private investment, and improved integration of returning migrants into the labor market, TOLOnews reported on Monday, citing a World Bank statement.
The report said that trade through Iran continues to play an important role in supporting economic activity, while efforts to diversify trade routes are expected to enhance resilience and contribute to more stable growth.
It also highlighted that Afghanistan's economy expanded by an estimated 4.8 percent in 2025, driven by higher consumption and a gradual recovery in non-agricultural sectors, indicating continued though modest economic improvement despite ongoing challenges. ■
