Key figures
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 1.41 trillion | 2024 |
| Highest | 1.42 trillion | 2020 |
| Lowest | 21 billion | 1960 |
| Average since 2020 | 1.3 trillion | 2020–2024 |
| First recorded | 21 billion | 1960 |
Since 1960 it is up 6,612% from 21 billion in 1960 (6.79% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 41 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
In 2024, Afghanistan's households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure (current LCU) rose 6.4% on 2023 (from 1.32 trillion to 1.41 trillion).
Across the 21 yearly changes before that (1961 to 2023), the average change was +10.2% and a typical year strayed about 18.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 50.5% in 1963 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.9% in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
