The international community has declared in London Conference (Dec 2014) and SOM Meeting in Kabul (Sunbola 1394) that they will provide financial support in this regard. Implementation of programs included in this document will result in: improved security, reforms in governance systems, creation of fundamental structures, boosting economic growth and poverty reduction in the medium to long runs. The main characteristics of the Self-Reliance Paper which includes (improved security, political stability, fighting corruption, good governance, rule of law and human rights, fiscal sustainability, transparency public financial management and commercial banking, development planning reforms, managing and ensuring development rights of the citizens, private sector development, comprehensive growth, development assistances and aid effectiveness) give hope for a promising future in economic growth and poverty reduction in the medium and long term. Prioritization of NPPs and provision of financial funds for implementation of those programs are among the prime agendas of the government. According to the Self- Reliance pager, investment in agriculture sector, extractive industry and delivery of services through private sector development are among the major priorities of the government in the transformation decade. The international community once again declared their commitments in London and Kabul Conferences to provide financial support for NPPs and it was emphasized that 80% of the financial assistance needs to be channeled through the national budget. In addition to this, the government strives to accelerate the investment process in infrastructure, agriculture and services sectors through domestic resources, public-private partnership investment mechanisms and encouraging the private sector. Implementation of public-private partnership investment mechanism is underway for development and efficiency of investment. Preliminary actions have been taken for development of public-private partnership investment regulations and assessment of this mechanism’s implementation in a number of pilot agencies. Implementation of this mechanism is expected to accelerate the implementation process of medium and large national programs and projects effectively and put them into exploitation as soon as possible. This way, the investment rate will increase and would result in delivery of quality services and stimulate economic growth factors in the medium and long term. During the past two years the effects of economic downfall on fiscal sustainability have been significant and cash deficiency in government treasury resulted in creation of a number of restraints in execution and funding of government expenditure. Therefore, achieving fiscal sustainability is one of the goals within NPPs. According to “Realizing Self-Reliance” paper, the identified indicators for increasing domestic revenue include: preparation of customs reform envelop and its implementation, implementation of the ASYCUDA module all over the country and installation of electronic payment in all customs offices. Likewise, improvement of 1 banking supervision and implementation of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act (AML/CFT Act) are other important indicators for improvement of financial and banking systems of the country. The procurement process mechanism has been effectively handed over to the National Procurement Commision operating under Office of the President and Office of the Chief Executive. It is now expected that there will be more acceleration and transparency in procurement process that will significantly improve budget execution rate by removing major obstacles in implementation of the projects. Afghanistan economic growth has declined from an average 9.6% in 1389-1393 to 3.7% and 1.3% in 1393 and 1394 respectively. With improvements in security situation and government measures for implementation of the Self-Reliance paper and other new policies, the economic growth is expected to recover to 2.6% in 1394 and 4.4% in 1395. 1. Macroeconomic Outlook With continued government-wide activities, 1394 and 1395 are expected to be years of resurgence, however, economic performance is expected to remain below that of recent history. Growth in Afghanistan is expected to be led through a recovery in the services sector in 1394 and 1395, with growth levels returning to a moderated trend. Price changes have moderated over time. However it is expected to rise slightly above the 1393 figure this year and in 1395.
