SOURCEBOOK | INTRODUCTION - AFGHANISTAN Using the Sourcebook Afghanistan When compiling this seventh edition of the AIB Global Population 29,835,392 Broadcasting Sourcebook, we have translated job titles into Mobile phone subscriptions 12 m English-language equivalents to provide consistency between GDP ($) 27.36bn companies. GDP per capita ($) 900 It is worth noting that the term "manager" when used in Press freedom ranking 147 Western Europe and North America tends to be a relatively junior post, below that of department head, for example. However, in some areas of the world - including parts of the Middle East, 1TV Media Eastern Europe and countries of the Former Soviet Union - 17th Street "manager" is a far more senior title, and can be equivalent to Wazir Akbar Khan director or board level posts in Western European nomenclature. Kabul Wherever possible, the main switchboard of the company has T 93 7 9341 0100 been listed, along with a central fax number.
