KABUL, Apr 18 (NNN-ANA) – Afghanistan received a batch of 32 million U.S. dollars in humanitarian cash assistance yesterday, as the international community continued to provide humanitarian support to the post-war country, according to the country’s central bank.
Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) said on Twitter that, “following a series of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan, 32 million USD in cash reached Afghanistan yesterday, Apr 17, 2022.”
The DAB also announced the auctioning of 13 million U.S. dollars today, to inject foreign currency into the local market and stabilise afghani, the country’s national currency.
The DAB has been continuously trying to maintain the value of afghani at a fixed and desirable level, against foreign currency, it said.
Since the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in mid-Aug last year, the United States has reportedly frozen more than nine billion U.S. dollars of assets of Afghanistan’s central bank, and thus undermined the banking system in the country.– NNN-ANA
