Afghanistan's economy continues to deteriorate under the Taliban regime, with public facing a worsening economic crisis due to flawed economic policies and declining investment.

The Taliban regime's five-year development strategy has failed to deliver the claimed economic progress, as ground realities remain far from its stated achievements.

According to a report by international media network Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, Afghanistan's economy has reached a critical stage, with rising inflation, unemployment and lack of investment further intensifying public hardships.

The report said annual inflation in Afghanistan reached eight percent in May this year, compared to just 0.5 percent during the same month last year. Prices of food items also increased by 8.2 percent, making essential commodities increasingly unaffordable for ordinary citizens.

It said restrictions on women's employment and businesses have worsened financial difficulties for Afghan families and deepened the economic crisis.

The report further stated that unemployment in Afghanistan has risen sharply, reaching 13.35 percent last year.

International experts say the Taliban regime's support for terrorist groups has pushed Afghanistan into diplomatic isolation, with the consequences being borne by the country's economy and ordinary people.
