The investment narrative is clear.

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.

The ACCI is an independent organization and the


pre-eminent voice for the private sector in
Afghanistan. The Chamber is positioned to
respond to inquiries from potential investors or to
work with relevant government institutions and
local businesses to facilitate a conducive and
seamless transition for investors who commit to
doing business in Afghanistan.

Finally I believe that this event can act as an


important platform for the exchange of informa-
tion and ideas and lead to positive, mutually
beneficial outcomes.

Thank you

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.

Advocacy and Interest Representation:


The chamber law mandates the ACCI as the
leading voice of the private sector to represent
domestic and foreign companies in all matters
pertaining a conducive environment. Therefore,
the chamber implements a wide range of
activities through the Department of Government
Relations and Policy, which is in direct contact
with the relevant government and
non-government agencies. Every year, the
chamber organizes special meetings with the
President of Afghanistan and participates in
economic committees to draft new business
related laws and revise old ones.

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.

Business Development Services:


The ACCI provides information and guidance to
build the foundation for business success. In close
cooperation with public and private agencies ACCI
supports enterprises and associations to introduce
modern management tools. The trainings in areas
like business planning, accounting and procure-
ment enable companies to benefit from the
growing business opportunities in Afghanistan and
worldwide. The tender distribution center
supports these activities and provides up-to-date
information on tenders from national and interna-
tional organizations across an array of sectors and
provinces.

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.
