About This Report

  
Abstract:

The political and security situation remains concerning. The Taliban, which still rejects all peace talks, continues to advance with at least two provincial capitals being besieged as well as having an increasing presence in Kabul. At the same time, ISIS continues to make its presence felt, there has been a marked deterioration in relations with neighbouring Pakistan and on the domestic political front, decision-making has become paralysed with no agreement on political and security strategy.Nevertheless, anecdotal evidence suggests that activity and confidence held up fairly well in H1 and together with a harvest at least as good as last year should support modest growth of 2% in 2016. Prospects for rising growth thereafter are predicated on some improvement in the political and security situation, continued commitment to macroeconomic stability and structural reform, as well as promised donor support being forthcoming.
