Original title: Foreign media: Before the Taliban came to power, most of the U.S. central bank’s U.S. dollar reserves were exhausted
Overseas Network, September 30th According to Reuters, according to an assessment report, before the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, most of the Afghan central bank’s dollar reserves were exhausted. This situation has exacerbated the current economic crisis.
This report was written by senior international economic officials for institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The report shows that Afghanistan’s severe funding shortage began before the Taliban took control of Kabul. The report also criticized the former leadership of the Central Bank of Afghanistan for its handling of the crisis and its mismanagement of the bank.
The report mentioned that the degree of cash shortage can be seen on the streets of the country’s cities. Because the amount of U.S. dollars withdrawn is strictly limited, local people queued for several hours when withdrawing money. In fact, the country’s economy was struggling before the collapse of the previous Western-backed Afghan government. After the Taliban came to power, billions of dollars in aid suddenly ended, putting the country into a deep crisis. (Overseas Net Li Meng)
