The ISI and the Pakistani military have given financial, logistical and military support to the Taliban as said by the international community and the Afghan government itself. The way the Taliban achieved their economy was by imposing a 50% tax on any company operating in the country and a 6% import tax on anything brought from other countries.

Opium was declared un-Islamic, and production reduced by 99% (in terms of area of opium poppy farming in Taliban-controlled areas).
