The economic recovery in Afghanistan is facing severe challenges, with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) reporting that 90 percent of households are either experiencing food insecurity or accumulating debt. The findings highlight the deepening humanitarian and financial crisis in the country, where basic livelihoods remain out of reach for the majority of families. According to the UNDP, the situation has worsened due to a combination of international aid cuts, banking sector instability, and limited access to global financial systems. This has restricted income opportunities and disrupted essential services. The report underscores the urgent need for coordinated international support to stabilize the economy and prevent further deterioration in living conditions. Without sustained assistance, long-term development goals appear increasingly unattainable for the war-affected nation.
