A team led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, a global market strategist at JPMorgan Chase, pointed out in a recent report that so far this year, retail investors have invested approximately US$485 billion in U.S. equity funds, and since mid-May, retail investors’ investment momentum in individual stocks and options has regained momentum. accelerate.

At the end of 2020, JP Morgan Chase estimated that retail investors will inject 500 billion U.S. dollars into the U.S. stock market throughout 2021. However, the Panigirtzoglou report recently stated that if the current purchase rate continues, the number may soar to $1 trillion.

However, the headwinds of US stocks are coming quietly, and the US stocks adjustment may be underway.

After the Fed released the “hawk” signal last week, the Dow Jones Index recorded its biggest weekly decline since October 2020. Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi recently warned that the Fed’s “eagle” will trigger a 10% to 20% correction in US stocks.

The Federal Reserve issued an interest rate resolution last week, still deciding to keep the policy interest rate near zero and the scale of QE bond purchases unchanged, but it raised the two major managed interest rates. In addition, the interest rate dot chart released by the Federal Reserve suggests that as the economy recovers rapidly from the impact of the new crown epidemic and inflation rises, officials are expected to raise interest rates twice before the end of 2023, much earlier than expected in March.

Zandi hinted that in this context, the US stock market adjustment may already be in progress, because investors have begun to panic.

The Dow Jones index just set its biggest weekly decline since October 2020, down 3.45%. The S&P 500 index last week was the worst since the end of February, and the Nasdaq index, which is dominated by technology stocks, also fell last week.

Unlike the sharp decline in US stocks in the past few years, Zandi does not expect the stock market to recover quickly this time because market valuations are already very high. He expects it may take a year to resume the original rally. Although Zandi issued a warning to the market, he believes that the economy will avoid a recession because this recession is mainly due to risks caused by excessive asset prices, rather than serious fundamental problems. Zandi has been warning of inflation for months. At the beginning of March, Zandi asserted that inflation would be “far ahead”, and investors did not recognize and fully grasp the risks. Zandi said that inflation is still an issue affecting stock market and bond investors. Zandi believes that it is unlikely that the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yield will continue to fall:

“Considering the current situation, I would not expect the yield to remain at 1.5% in the long term.”

Stocks and bonds are not the only risky assets that attract Zendi’s attention. Zandi also believes that the sell-off of commodities and cryptocurrencies is brewing more trouble. In addition, in the case of rising mortgage interest rates, he is worried about the sustainability of the booming real estate market. Coincidentally, Micheal Burry, the prototype of “Big Short” and a well-known hedge fund manager, also issued a warning to Bitcoin a few days ago, saying that retail investors who buy “group stocks” and cryptocurrencies are about to usher in devastating losses. In addition to holding stocks, Burry also issued a warning to cryptocurrency enthusiasts to borrow money to buy their favorite currency unscrupulously. He wrote on Twitter:

“Like most things, the problem with cryptocurrency is leverage. If you don’t know how much leverage there is in cryptocurrency, then you don’t know anything about cryptocurrency.”

According to CoinDesk data, after Bitcoin broke through $63,000 and hit a record high in mid-April this year, it has fallen by more than 40% so far. Ethereum has also fallen sharply after its surge, starting from the record high set in May. It has fallen by more than 45%. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision has caused turmoil in US stocks, and the sell-off of commodities and cryptocurrencies is brewing more trouble. We return to the beginning of the message and cannot help asking, will the momentum of retail investment throughout 2021 continue? New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) President Stacey Cunningham recently stated that the price of meme stocks (referring to stocks that retail investors are keen to buy on social media) may be distorted because most of these stocks are traded outside the US public exchange. Place. Cunningham said that the price formation of meme stock does not truly reflect the relationship between supply and demand. Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman also said that meme stock has brought some benefits because this trend has attracted younger investors to enter the market, but warned that the dramatic rise in stocks such as AMC and Gamestop could be the “cause of disaster.” Gorman believes that the huge returns that some meme stocks have received in a short period of time are not healthy, and these gains are “to some extent the root of the disaster.”

Biden has been yelling “The United States is back” recently, in an attempt to reshape the leadership of the United States among allies. Therefore, he is embarrassed to ignore the cry of allies or partners. Although the new crown vaccine in the United States cannot be given, other aspects can also soothe Ukraine’s injured heart.

The US Pentagon recently announced that it will provide Ukraine with US$150 million in military aid. In addition, according to Guangming.com, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba revealed in an interview with the media that President Zelensky of the country will visit the United States at the end of July and hold a meeting with U.S. President Biden.

Earlier this month, Biden formally invited Zelensky to visit the United States during a telephone meeting. Kuleba also stated: “Because of the extensive agenda between the United States and Ukraine, Zelensky will lead a large delegation to visit the United States by then.” This is enough to show that Biden has given Zelensky enough face this time.

Obviously, Biden is really different from Trump. He is purely a political veteran. Knowing that Zelensky has been crippled by the United States and Europe one after another, it must be uncomfortable now. Therefore, Biden sent two carrots to Ukraine in succession, hoping to quell the grievances in the hearts of the Ukrainian authorities. After all, people have long been acting as American anti-Russian cannon fodder, and the price they have to bear is heavy enough.

It stands to reason that Biden threw two carrots to the Kiev authorities one after another, and the Kiev authorities should be happy at this time. Who would have thought that after receiving Biden’s “compensation”, instead of being happy about it, the Kiev authorities would cry even more miserably.

On the 11th local time, Vitrenko, chairman of the board of directors of the Ukrainian oil and gas company, said in an interview with Bloomberg that the completion and commissioning of the Beixi-2 project may lead to the outbreak of a full-scale war. He believes that the worst situation caused by the Beixi-2 project is not just to reduce Ukraine’s billions of dollars in revenue each year, but more importantly, it will mean the outbreak of an all-out war in Europe.

The war argument provided by Vitrenko is that the gas supply facility through the Beixi-1 pipeline in Ukraine is a tool to prevent Russia from launching a war against Ukraine. If the Beixi-2 project is completed, Russia will no longer be constrained by Ukraine when it comes to exporting natural gas to Europe. By then, if Russia wants a military invasion, Ukraine will not have the capital to prevent Russia from launching a war.

In fact, Vitrenko is not suffering from fantasy obsessive-compulsive disorder, nor is there any sign of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He is just using the “outbreak of total war” as a gimmick, trying to give the United States a rhythm to stop the Beixi-2 project, hoping to use Biden’s hands to destroy the project. Therefore, Vitrenko added: If the United States abandons its pressure on Beixi-2, it may have a negative impact on many pro-Western countries in Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.

In the final analysis, Vitrenko linked the Beixi-2 project to the outbreak of the full-scale war, positioning it as a major factor that “undermines European security and stability.” Vitrenko’s move. It is putting pressure on Biden in another way to pave the way for Zelensky’s visit to the United States at the end of July to persuade Biden to destroy the Beixi-2 project.

However, Ukraine clearly overestimates its position in the United States. In fact, don’t think that if Biden gave two carrots to Kiev, he can push his nose and give guidance to the United States on the Beixi-2 project and even the issue of US-Russian relations. That is wishful thinking.

In fact, with regard to Ukraine’s interests, it is the United States and Russia that really have the final say. Ukraine is at best a pawn in the game of great powers. In the end, whether it can continue to eat food for it, or prevent it from continuing to survive, is the United States. Russia has the final say, not Zelensky or his successor.

Consumption and happiness I shop therefore I am

Status: 13.06.2021 10:26 a.m.

Business is up again. For many people, the lockdown was like withdrawal, because shopping can trigger feelings of happiness like drugs. But is less maybe more – and does it even make it happier? By Ilyas Mec and Sandra Scheuring, MR According to the Federal Statistical Office, an average household in Europe has around 10,000 things. 100 years ago, the average German household had 180 things. It is estimated that almost three million people in this country live in a household with three cars or more. There are two million old cell phones in drawers. This list could go on: TVs, clothing, decorative items, household items are constantly increasing and far exceed the number of things that we really need. Obviously, ruffling is an instinct that was created in human evolution. Owning things reliably ensured survival. Buying triggers a feeling of elation, at least in the short term. It can even turn into a real addiction, shopping addiction. Those who consume are also looking for confirmation, wanting to belong – it’s about keeping up, but also about demarcation and the expression of individuality. Buyers are often at the mercy of their instincts. Two thirds of all purchase decisions are made spontaneously in the store, as so-called impulse purchases.

The tea light phenomenon

Marketing strategists and advertising professionals use these behaviors to encourage people to buy. A walk through an Ikea branch shows how perfected the craft of seduction can be. It seems impossible not to buy anything. A pillow here, a carafe there, and finally tealights. We use them spontaneously, even if we have had such products at home for a long time. Why? “It can be a purely functional need on the one hand, but also an emotional one on the other hand: I want it to be more comfortable, I just want it to be nicer,” says Janet Wittmaack, deputy branch manager of Ikea in Frankfurt. The psychologist Jens Förster points out the disadvantage: the kick when shopping is always gone very quickly. “If you really want to spend money, adventure goods are a good choice, things like traveling,” says Förster. The memory remains, “and that makes you happier in the long term”.

Consumer trend minimalism

An entire industry is now propagating the opposite. Because owning a lot is no longer so en vogue today. Owning little, but having the right thing for it, is a megatrend. The Japanese bestselling author Marie Kondo, for example, who is also known as the “Queen of Minimalism”, sells items for a minimalist life in her online shop. Otherwise she writes guidebooks on how to make tidying up and sorting out happy. Birgit Blättel-Mink is a professor of sociology at the Goethe University in Frankfurt and conducts research on consumer issues, among other things. Instead of abstaining from consumption, there is often just a shift in consumption, she believes: “If someone says I do without clothes, I don’t really need that much – then we often observe something like a so-called rebound effect. So I save here. I can for that I can afford more on another side. ” In such cases, it may not be a matter of profound change or more sustainability, but rather a “subjectively good conscience”. Then there are only three very expensive shirts instead of ten cheaper ones. You have to be able to afford minimalism as celebrated on Instagram and Co.

Consumption is the work of others

Consumption is a prerequisite for our economy to run. If everyone renounces consumption, it would be a disaster, says Adalbert Winkler, economist at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management. He is researching the consequences of the corona lockdown. “Those who offered goods and services had no income, and if the state hadn’t helped with transfer payments, then this drop in income would have meant that these people would not have been able to consume either, which in turn would have affected everyone else,” says Winkler . “We would have gotten into a dramatic recession.” In a nutshell, this means that if everyone lives ascetically, there is a risk of economic ruin. It is relatively easy to promote abstinence if your own income is not burdened. So what now? Living in a very spartan way and doing without consumption does not seem to be a solution either. Just as minimalist, elitist buying behavior is not an option for society at large. For most people, thinking about how you consume cannot be wrong. This includes the insight that the happiness rush when shopping is only short-term. And many things can quickly become a burden – when the basement is full and you have to ask yourself: where do you put all that stuff?

In the most popular era of Nokia and Motorola, mobile phones costing thousands of dollars at every turn made many shy friends only have an eye addiction. At that time, everyone’s income was generally not high. These copycat manufacturers just watched. When this business opportunity is reached, a series of high imitation mobile phones have been launched, as well as some very characteristic cheap mobile phones, which are very popular in the domestic market. Among them, the help of one company is very critical, and that is MediaTek. Everyone knows that MediaTek has never been able to hit the high-end, but it is a king in the low-end market. These small mobile phone manufacturers are on this thigh. , And MediaTek also needs their help to expand the market. The copycat factory requests and MediaTek produces technology. This perfect cooperation method makes them full of profits!

But the good times are not long. How can these mobile phone giants let go of such a profitable business? The era of smart phones has developed from China Kulian to Huami OV. Domestic mobile phone manufacturers have quickly occupied the middle and low-end market, and the market for copycats has been compressed. Unable to survive, in desperation, they had no choice but to go abroad and march into some underdeveloped countries. At that time, they were catching up with the launch of the Aliyun OS operating system. They wanted to hit the market. They hit it off with a lot of copycat mobile phone manufacturers. Backed by the backing, copycat mobile phones ushered in the second spring. But after all, the arm couldn’t twist the thigh. Under the impact of Huami OV, the copycat mobile phone quickly disappeared from our sight.

In 2019, Huawei was forced to launch its self-developed Hongmeng operating system. On June 2, 2021, the Hongmeng operating system was officially released. The first barrier in front is the number of users, which also determines the life and death of Hongmeng. Fortunately, at the beginning of the release, Huawei stated that it will be open sourced to the outside world, which means that any mobile phone brand can use it, including those cottage mobile phone manufacturers that are struggling. Since Hongmeng is the main Internet of Everything, this also means these. Counterfeit manufacturers can not only produce mobile phones, including computers, tablets, watches, and even home appliances such as air conditioners and refrigerators, which can be equipped with the Hongmeng system, and Hongmeng is not inferior to Android in use.

The popularity of Hongmeng has been very high since its release. If these counterfeit mobile phone manufacturers are equipped with the Hongmeng operating system, it will be beneficial to both of them. Hongmeng needs the market share brought by the counterfeit mobile phones, and the counterfeit mobile phones also need the popularity of Hongmeng. For Android, although Hongmeng’s application market does not have many suitable software, there are also basic commonly used software, and the Android software is a bit too bloated. In fact, the experience of many software is not very good, and the copycat mobile phone is definitely Those high-end chips are not available, so the performance limits the experience of copycat mobile phones. The software of Hongmeng operating system is much more concise than that of Android, the memory usage is also smaller, the running speed is faster and smoother, and it is very It is rare to clear the background, which is undoubtedly more suitable for copycat phones with lower configuration.

In the late 19th century, in Germany, Austrian designer Georg Luger designed a handgun, which operated in a recoil mechanism using an internal hammer and a novel elbow mechanism. When fired, the barrel and the crank mechanism move backwards until they touch a camshaft linked to the elbow, pushing the cartridge out. Then a spring pushes the elbow to close and feed the next bullet into the barrel. The result is a handy sized pistol that holds up to 7 7.65mm Parabellum rounds in a removable cartridge. In 1904, this pistol was upgraded to accommodate the new 9x19mm cartridge, in 1908 it was used as the main gun of several German military units, officially known as P.08 or Luger. The Luger pistol has a beautiful design, smooth crank mechanism, and is a durable, quality gun, but the manufacturing process is complicated and time consuming. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were no modern equipment to produce parts with detailed precision, so each part of each Luger was machined by hand. Small variations in size and finish require skilled people to assemble each finished gun, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. This is a laborious process and when completed, each part of the gun will be serialized. The gun was then disassembled, and the parts were water-stained with blue steel and hardened for durability. Once completed, the gun will be reassembled based on the serial number to ensure that the parts match. That’s why a genuine Luger has a serial number stamped on almost every part and each gun is a finished work of German precision technology. But the Luger gun is not perfect. The mechanism for linking the trigger to the internal hammer is quite long and complex. The trigger is weak and inaccurate despite being light. The rear sight is mounted on part of the elbow, so when firing the elbow rises, blocking the target’s view for a while. However, the Luger worked well, and the elbow mechanism absorbed a lot of the gun’s recoil, making it easy for the shooter to keep aiming. The Luger barrel is a detachable part, with three different barrel lengths: 100mm, 150mm and 200mm. Also at the end of the 19th century, in America John Moses Browning was also designing a self-loading pistol. His first design was completed in 1897, it had a slide that pushed back by gas and ejected the cartridge. A set of springs then pushes the slide forward to load the next round into the barrel. This .32 ACP pistol proved to be extremely reliable and easy to manufacture. In addition to the safety lock on the left side, Browning’s new gun also has a grip safety device, meaning it can only be fired when the rear portion of the handle is compressed. So the gun will not explode if dropped. During tests held in 1910, the new gun fired 5,000 rounds in a single batch, and when the gun overheated, simply dipped in a bucket of water to cool. In 1911, the gun was chosen as the main pistol of the US military, with the designation M-1911, using .45 ACP ammunition. Like the Luger, the early M-1911 pistols weren’t perfect. The rear aiming point is quite small and some people find the reach to the trigger too long. Furthermore, for the first time, shooters learned what a “smasher bite” is, a condition in which the skin between the thumb and forefinger can be painfully clamped between the hammer and the barrel when the cap slides. backward. When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, two pistols faced each other in combat for the first time. The Luger may look like the ultimate weapon, a model of precision engineered advanced engineering. Compared to Luger, Colt looks a bit rough. Early M-1911s had a slide that didn’t fit into the body of the gun and could make a rattling noise if the gun was shaken. However, this also means that manufacturing tolerances are less stringent and the Colt can be manufactured cheaper and faster than the Luger. Luger does not perform well in sandy, dusty or muddy conditions. Small tolerances in the crank mechanism tend to jam the gun too easily. Worse still, if a Luger is damaged that cannot be repaired by taking parts from another Luger, it must be replaced with a brand new Luger. In contrast, the Colt M-1911 pistol can fire in all conditions. Its greater tolerance means it is less likely to jam, even after being dropped in the mud, the .45 ACP bullet has much stronger resistance than the 9mm Luger bullet. Parts are also interchangeable between Colts making field repairs much quicker. The relatively simple Colt proved superior to the complex, precision-built Luger. From 1938, the Luger was gradually replaced by the simpler Walther P.38. During World War II, only colonel officers were equipped with Lugers, due to limited numbers. However, the demand for pistols was growing at the time, causing production of the Luger P-08 to continue until 1944. The strength and raw simplicity of the Colt M-1911 allowed it to continue to serve long to date, while the Luger has long since become a historical relic. Image source: Pinterest.

Through the eyes of a “leading expert” in food, Trinh Thang Binh chose the Chicken Wrap with Almond Sauce from Daehwi’s location, which is also the dish that Vietnamese stars will have to repeat at the Vietnamese film set. Before coming to the main kitchen, the stars had to go through the side challenge “Eat Sao Cho Sang”: Each member had to choose 1 of 5 “mysterious” dishes, then sat down to eat in front of a sound intensity meter. . If anyone makes a sound that exceeds 70 decibels while eating, they will be subject to “punishment” from your team. The winner will go to the team that completes all the food in the shortest time. As a result, the duo Dieu Nhi – AP Army easily won overwhelmingly. Next, the two teams continue to enter a new “gate”: In 1 minute, both teams will have to “go to the market” for chicken with a variety of different ingredients. Winning the challenge of Eating Sao Cho Sang, Dieu Nhi team and AP Army were given priority to go to the market first. However, she still couldn’t help but panic when the opposing team hid a plate of chicken – which is an indispensable ingredient. When all the ingredients were collected, the two teams officially entered the fiery “kitchen battle”. Under the dedicated guidance of Korean chef Jeong Chan Je, the members of each team both memorize and support each other to perform the operations. The kitchen on Trinh Thang Binh’s side is quite “noisy” when the vocals Confessions Age 30 “Criticizing” incessantly, causing MC Dai Nghia and Dieu Nhi to “criticize” non-stop. In contrast, Jang Mi made teammates and bystanders “lost” when she cut “creative” lemons vertically instead of horizontally. Team Dieu Nhi – The AP army became a “black hole” of extremely funny situations. The capital used to impress as a “salty” combination in the previous episode, but Dieu Nhi – Quan AP was… lacking in salt to marinate chicken. Even so, the AP Army was still very quick to grab the light-but-many missing condiments from your team. After a “struggling” time, both teams finished the main dish including Traditional Fried Chicken and Korean Sauce Chicken, with a side dish of French fries. According to chef Jeong, both sides are “on equal footing”: Trinh Thang Binh’s team is dominated by the traditional fried chicken, but Dieu Nhi’s Korean-sauce Chicken is somewhat “better”. . However, with a beautiful layout, Dieu Nhi – Quan AP won in this episode. And besides congratulation, MC Dai Nghia still did not forget to “kick” Dieu Nhi when he told AP Quan: “Since your appearance, Dieu Nhi has come to life! In the past, many handsome men appeared with Dieu Nhi, but somehow it was still unlucky.” Episode 8 Eat Then Tell has ended, Vietnamese audiences will have more perspectives on traditional Korean fried chicken, as well as add to their “eating notebook” one more option when it comes to Kimchi cuisine. .

Shirts are no longer limited to the office environment. With their creativity, women have many fresh and sexy ways to wear from seemingly boring designs. The shirt itself is not revealing, just a few small changes make the discreet shirt extremely sexy. The most popular way to wear it is to let go of the first few rows of buttons to reveal the hidden chest groove that looks both pure and provocative. However, recently, women have another way to wear shirts to attract attention. Specifically, the wearer will take advantage of tight shirts, revealing indifferent gaps when viewed horizontally, easily revealing the inner layer of underwear. In fact, the unbuttoned shirt fashion is one of the basic mistakes that women often encounter when wearing a shirt. To avoid costume problems, some people also use double-sided tape, buttons to minimize the lack of subtle “gaps”. Once considered a “black spot” in the way of dress, but now many beauties are not afraid to take advantage of them to stand out. In the picture, the female PG of an auto show attracts attention thanks to her beautiful face and outstanding physique. In order not to “fade” in front of the forest of beauties, the girl chose the style of unbuttoning the shirt to show off her full bust. Seemingly quite confident with her style, she is not afraid to pose in front of the camera. Joanna Lin, living in Tin Nghia, Taiwan also made people stand still when wearing a white shirt and black skirt. Immediately after, Joanna’s image was quickly shared on social networking platforms such as Weibo, Snapchat. Liu Tai Yang, born in 1995, living in Inner Mongolia, also made people “wobble” when she wore a shirt that was too sexy. Not only once, “Kim Kardashian of China” continuously “burns the eyes” of the viewer with a daring outfit with an unbuttoned shirt. Despite showing off her natural beauty, the fashion of unbuttoning a shirt was met with many criticisms. Many people think that this way of dressing is unsophisticated, almost only in favor of showing off the skin, deliberately showing off the body. In fact, although the shirt is discreet, there are many ways to make them attractive, you can completely refer. Photo: Internet.

As expected, today (April 14), the administration of President Joe Biden will announce plans to withdraw all US forces stationed in Afghanistan in stages and end before September 11, full 20 years. after the horrible terror that started the war in Afghanistan.

Accordingly, thousands of US troops will continue to be stationed in Afghanistan after May 1, the deadline that former President Donald Trump’s administration has agreed with the Taliban. There are now 2,500 US troops stationed in Afghanistan, though the difference in fact could be as high as 1,000. The coalition in Afghanistan also has the presence of more than 7,000 troops, mainly NATO troops.

The administration of President Joe Biden is expected to announce plans to withdraw all forces from Afghanistan before 9/11/2021. (Source: EPA)

The above decision was made in the context of the unsuccessful peace negotiations. An unnamed US official revealed that the announcement of the plan was necessary because if the US did not make a clear roadmap of the May 1 deadline, Washington would have to fight the Taliban again.

For Joe Biden, this clearly does not serve the national interest of the US administration.

However, while withdrawing troops from Afghanistan will help the Americans end their presence in Afghanistan after two decades and help Mr. Biden score in the eyes of voters, it could also be a step backwards to Joe Biden’s foreign affairs.

first, this decision will go against what Mr. Joe Biden committed before becoming President. He once thought that Washington needed to maintain an anti-terrorist force in Afghanistan to ensure that Islamic extremist groups like Al-Qaeda would not be able to attack the United States.

However, his views changed after only two months in office. On March 17, interviewed by radio station ABC News, President Biden admitted having “difficulty” in withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan before May 1 under the agreement of his predecessor.

Now, the plan to withdraw troops is becoming clear, but the promise of anti-terrorist forces in the South Asian country has yet to be fulfilled.

Monday, the withdrawal of all US forces from Afghanistan leaves a great void for the Islamic extremist forces.

Speaking before the National Security Committee of the Afghan Parliament, National Intelligence Director Ahmad Zia Saraj said the number of Taliban attacks had increased by 24% since the peace agreement with the United States in February 2020. , with a total of 20,600 targeted attacks and bombings of all kinds.

According to him, this figure shows that the Taliban are not showing any change in Turkish ideology and the upcoming peace conference in Turkey may not yield any results.

Tuesday, the civil administration proved ineffective in ensuring security and political stability for development. On April 12, Afghanistan recorded 122 new cases of Covid-19, bringing the total number to 57,364 cases.

However, it should be remembered that the Covid-19 testing procedure in this country is limited and the actual number of cases may be much higher, while the health system is gradually overloading.

According to the World Bank, Afghanistan’s economy declines by 1.9% in 2020. Food prices increase rapidly because Covid-19, sometimes up to 17% in April 2020 alone, while tax revenue decreased by 7 , 6%.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan’s economic growth in 2021 is expected to reach 1%, but only possible if foreign aid and security are secured, two factors increasingly uncertain with Kabul’s governance capabilities. and after the withdrawal of US President Joe Biden’s administration.

Because of that, Washington may end its presence in the South Asian country after two decades and help Biden score points with voters, but the price will be political stability and security of Afghanistan.
