Afghanistan's modest economic growth threatened by rising poverty, population, security threats, inadequate infrastructure, displacement: World Bank

Kabul, Oct 8 (UNI) Afghanistan's economy has grown modestly in the past four years and continues to rise, though increasing poverty, lack of infrastructure, weak governance, persistent displacement, and persistent security threats continue to hamper this trend, reported the World Bank.
It further warned that these factors could overshadow the few strides the war-ravaged country has made in recent years.
According to Khamma News, these findings were published as part of the World Bank's latest Economic update on West Asia, North Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan, titled 'Jobs and Women: Untapped Talent, Unrealised Growth'.
