re: Afghanistan GDP Newer estimates from the Asian Development Bank put it at $6.9B just prior to the demise of the Taliban. Given the war, ADB suggests $4.5B for 2002. This is relevant: "At the Second Meeting of the Afghanistan Reconstruction Steering Group, concluded in Tokyo in early 2002, the international community addressed the country’s urgent development needs, pledging a total of $4.5 billion in external assistance, including $1.8 billion for 2002" adb.org Assuming current targets, by end of 2004, the US alone, will have provided about $1.4B in direct aid to Afg. (period: 2001-2004)
