Trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan has decreased by 40 percent, falling from $2.461 billion in 2024 to $1.766 billion in 2025. This decline is attributed to ongoing border disputes and disruptions at major commercial crossings like Torkham and Spin Boldak, which have been closed for three months. Economic analysts advise Afghanistan to diversify trade routes through Iran and Central Asia to enhance economic stability and reduce reliance on Pakistan.
