Major global economic powers are currently engaged in fierce competition and mutual political-economic pressures to advance their strategic interests. This wave of rivalry was sparked by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who imposed trade tariffs on nearly 100 countries, including Afghanistan.
Afghanistan, already struggling with a severe economic crisis, sanctions, and restrictions, now faces further challenges due to this global economic conflict. But is it only losses that await, or could there be opportunities hidden within these tensions that Afghanistan might benefit from?
Key questions explored include:
-What exactly are these trade tariffs?
-Why are global powers increasing tariffs on each other?
-What position does Afghanistan hold in this economic war?
-In which direction is Afghanistan’s economy heading?
-What impact do these financial sanctions have on Afghanistan, and how can the country shield itself?
-Where are regional economic policies headed?
These topics were discussed in an exclusive interview with Dr. Anwarul HaqAhadi, former Minister of Finance of Afghanistan.
The conversation covers global economic trends, the tariff war, Afghanistan’s economic outlook, monetary policy, and the issue of Afghanistan’s frozen currency reserves.
