Afghanistan’s economy has severely contracted as a result of the precipitous withdrawal of the United States, the consequent decline in international financial assistance, and the Taliban’s incapacity to govern and generate revenue since 2021. Afghanistan has attracted considerable attention from the regional countries due to the looming security threat of terrorism and its unutilised economic potential. In the evolving Great Game, the regional countries aim to use geo-economics as a strategy to increase their influence in that country which will have regional and global implications. This publication is an analysis of the roles played by China, Russia, Iran, the Central Asian States, India, and Pakistan, the growing regional competition and the increasing disconnect between the Global North and South on the prospects for the long-term stabilization of Afghanistan. It offers a specific set of suggestions and pathways for Afghanistan’s economic stabilisation by examining several scenarios that could be useful to policymakers, practitioners, academia, business houses, and non-governmental organizations.
