How business is done in Afghanistan
Population
About 42 million (2023), very young and growing; concentrated around Kabul and other cities, amid severe humanitarian and economic crisis under Taliban rule.
Language(s) spoken
Dari (Afghan Persian) and Pashto are the official languages; English is very limited. Dari and Pashto localization would be required, though the market is largely inaccessible.
How business decisions are made
Relationship-, family- and tribe-based, with personal networks and elders central, conducted amid Taliban governance, international isolation, sanctions and collapsed formal institutions. The environment is extremely high-risk and largely closed to Western business.
Effective marketing
Family- and faith-oriented, but severely constrained by crisis, restrictions (including on women's participation) and limited connectivity. Note that the environment makes conventional marketing largely unviable.
Similar countries
Regional South and Central Asian neighbors — Pakistan, Iran and the Central Asian states — though access and restrictions make Afghanistan largely distinct and difficult.
