The World Bank reports that Afghanistan's trade routes have shifted sharply from Pakistan to Central Asia and Iran after border disruptions, with India becoming the largest export market. This shift is impacting Afghanistan's trade deficit and economic structure amid an ongoing weakening of the Afghani currency and inflationary pressures.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must reconsider your regional supply and export routes now that Afghanistan's trade corridors have dramatically shifted from Pakistan to Central Asia and Iran. This opens fresh markets and risks tied to political stability in these new corridors, changing how you plan logistics and partnerships.
