Afghanistan is a developing country. As of 2014[update], the nation's GDP stands at about $60.58 billion with an exchange rate of $20.31 billion, and the GDP per capita is $1,900. The country's exports totaled $2.7 billion in 2012. Its unemployment rate was reported in 2008 at about 35%.[1] According to a 2009 report, about 42% of the population lives on less than $1 a day.[2] The nation has less than $1.5 billion in external debt.[1]
The Afghan economy has been growing at about 10% per year in the last decade, which is due to the infusion of over $50 billion in international aid and remittances from Afghan expats.[1] It is also due to improvements made to the transportation system and agricultural production, which is the backbone of the nation's economy.[3]
