What is Revenue, excluding grants (% of GDP)?

Revenue, excluding grants (% of GDP), measured in %, measures the total economic output of Afghanistan. It represents the broadest indicator of economic activity, capturing production, income, and expenditure across all sectors — from manufacturing and services to agriculture and government.

In Afghanistan, the statistical agency compiles GDP data through comprehensive surveys of businesses, government records, and household expenditure patterns.
