Why do Afghanistan economic reports use different years?
Economic reports may use a fiscal year, calendar year, crop year, survey round, or publication year, and those periods do not always align.
What the figure or term means
FY2024/25 is not automatically identical to calendar 2025.
Comparing rates without matching periods can create false contradictions.
Forecasts may also change between report vintages.
Copy the period label from the original table.
How to use this information responsibly
Good data use begins with the indicator definition, source, publication date, reference period, geographic coverage, denominator, and whether the figure is observed, estimated, projected, targeted, or reached.
A precise-looking number can still carry uncertainty. Responsible reporting preserves the source’s wording and does not convert projections into verified counts.
Check the underlying information.
