Abstract: In a post-conflict environment attracting new foreign and domestic firms is central to private sector development. New investment decisions (into existing or new firms) usually depend on the availability of five basic factors: political and economic stability and security, clear unambiguous regulations, reasonable tax rates that are equitably enforced, access to finance and infrastructure, and an appropriately skilled workforce. In Afghanistan, these conditions are lacking. The challenges facing the Government of Afghanistan in addressing these constraintsand in turn attracting further foreign and domestic investment can not be underestimated. But, as the experience of other reconstruction efforts shows, as in Bosnia & Herzegovina and East Timor, reform can be achieved. This report has been prepared to assist the Government of Afghanistan address its private sector development challenges. It is based on a survey of 335 firms and draws upon\n numerous recent studies on Afghan private sector issues.
