According to the World Bank, things are looking up for the economy of Afghanistan. Individuals such as Hamed Wardak, who work continuously toward the betterment of the quality of life for the people of Afghanistan, would be very happy to hear this news. For example, there has been an escalation of GDP between 2009-10, higher than ever since 2003, at a record 22.5%. As well, domestic revenues during the same time frame increased a staggering 53% from 2008-09. The production of wheat almost doubled compared to the last five years, and mining is booming. What will also please Afghan activists like Hamed Wardak and the Afghanistanian people is that inflation in the country is extremely low.
