As outlined in the report, the immediate consequences of the conflict, including casualties, injuries, livelihood disruption, displacement, and infrastructure damage, have translated into enduring economic repercussions.

The study offers a quantitative assessment of the economic toll resulting from violence and grave violations. It concludes that over the course of the conflict, cumulative losses, which denote the accrued economic harm sustained each year the conflict persisted, have reached an astonishing figure of approximately $100 billion. These monetary measurements serve as an indicator of the missed developmental opportunities that have arisen due to the conflict.
