How much domestic revenue did Afghanistan collect in 2025?

Reviewed by Famidi editorial team
Direct answer

The World Bank reported domestic revenue collection equivalent to 19.8 percent of GDP in 2025.

What the figure or term means

Stronger tax enforcement supported the increase.

Revenue as a share of GDP does not show how funds were allocated or whether services improved.

Declining external grants still limited infrastructure investment and shock response.

Separate revenue collection from public expenditure and humanitarian funding.

How to use this information responsibly

Economic indicators describe different things: national output, prices, household deprivation, employment, public revenue, or access to services. Reading the definition and period is essential.

Economic series are revised and are not interchangeable. Growth in total GDP can coexist with falling income per person and worsening household hardship.
