Afghanistan’s GDP declined by 2.7 per cent during 1970/71 due mainly to a severe drought. Agricultural production dropped sharply and foodgrain prices soared. Exports increased marginally while commercial imports rose. Foreign debt servicing liabilities increased further and the inflow of project aid fell. The balance of payments recorded a deficit on current account.
