BBC World Service - World Business Report, What now for Afghanistan's economy?

Afghanistan faces a devastating financial crisis, but where did billions of dollars go?

Billions have been pumped into Afghanistan over two decades, but fears are growing that the country is on the brink of a humanitarian and financial crisis. We ask Gul Masood Sabit, who served two terms as deputy finance minister of the country, what happened to the funds? And General Motors has recalled every Chevrolet Bolt ever made after the batteries of the electric car were linked to fires. We talk to Michelle Krebs, an analyst at Cox Automotive in Detroit, about the challenge of designing electric cars. The independent economist Michael Hughes tells us why India's economy is rebounding. And we talk to James Lamond, from the Center for European Policy and Analysis in Washington DC, about the agenda for a meeting between Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Joe Biden.
