Follow the Money
For this week’s Insights podcast, Lynne talks with Shah Mohammad Mehrabi. He is a professor of economics and a co-trustee of the Afghan Fund, which was set up two years ago in Switzerland to administer $3.5 billion of Afghanistan's foreign exchange reserves. He has all the numbers at his fingers tips and refers to them to make a series of points about the economy before and after the fall of the republic. Without explicit reference to the way women have been locked out of economic activity by the Taliban regime, he says that without them, true progress will be very difficult, if not impossible.
