“Businesses operating in Afghanistan face tremendous challenges. Transport and communications infrastructures are weak. Security conditions are fluid. Standard business-related institutions and infrastructures lack capacity, are poorly organized or, in some cases, do not exist. Kabul currently lacks appropriate hotel accommodations for international business, air links are still quite limited, and commercial banking facilities are extremely weak.”
--Afghanistan Business Primer, U.S. Embassy, Kabul, April 2003
