Message from the President of Afghanistan
Afghanistan today is the land of countless business opportunities. Despite persistent successes in making Afghanistan a place suitable for investment, an important policy decision we have made is the creation of the Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA); a one-stop shop to serve the interests and needs of investors. AISA has been charged with the responsibility to facilitate registration, licensingS and promotion of all investments in Afghanistan. It concentrates on pro-active measures to attract industrial investment from both within and outside Afghanistan, thus generating employment and economic growth. Towards the achievement of these goals, AISA has my full support.

Message from the President of AISA
Afghanistan has come along way since what it was under the Taliban only a few years ago. We now have a fully democratic government, an elected parliament, increased security and political stability, an emerging vibrant civil society, a supportive international community, greater access to regional and international markets, improving physical infrastructure, and most importantly a constitution that is not only one of the most liberal in the Muslim World but also one that commits the State to the promotion of market economy.
The highlight of the government’s overall economic and the development policy is the centrality of private sector in the new Afghan economy.
