Afghanistan is
a high opportunity, medium-high risk, investment
proposition. High value opportunities will remain
for decades to come and thanks to the Afghan and
international security assistance force, the
business risk indicator continues to improve.

ment of the enabling environment for doing
business is a shared concern of all stakeholders.
Under the umbrella of the ACCI are 59 business
associations and cooperatives organized, which
represent more than 90 percent of the workforce
in Afghanistan. In cooperation with these organiza-
tions, the ACCI provides the following services.
International Affairs:
Since 2001 the Afghan business community has
been encouraged to expand their economic
activities outside the country. For these compa-
nies the ACCI provides a gateway to foreign
markets by organising matchmaking conferences,
exhibitions and fairs. The International Depart-
ment thereby is aware that businesses need
favourable conditions and closely collaborates
with international, foreign and national organisa-
tions to reach this objective. The chamber is
represented in the developed and emerging
markets through its twelve business councils,
which connect the Afghan business community
with the outside world. Among the target markets
are the neighboring countries, Middle and Near
East, Europe and the USA.

Industry and Export Promotion:
Compared with volumes in trade and imports the
Afghan export sector remains small. In the field of
export development the ACCI provides a range of
services to Afghan traders through the Industry
and Export Promotion Department. Among them
are the following: preparation and issuing the
Certificate of Origin, registering business invoices,
offering necessary advice and cooperating in
removing trade obstacles inside and outside the
country. During the past three years the ACCI
issued more than 100,000 invoices and 10,000
certificate of origin for Afghan exporters. Further-
more, the chamber supports entrepreneurs to
introduce international standards for quality
assurance and packaging.

ACCI Standing Committees:
Legal Services and Arbitration Department
Private entrepreneurs often face disagreements
and conflict in enforcing and interpreting the
provisions of contracts. The resolution of such
conflicts through legal and judiciary channels is
complex and time consuming. Therefore, the ACCI
plays a vital role in resolving business disputes
and conflicts by offering mediation and arbitra-
tion services. During the last three years the ACCI
has mediated in 58 disputes according this way
and will further extend these services. In
addition, the chamber provides advice in other
juridical issues ranging from business registration
to tax declaration.
