The Ministry of Finance held a meeting today, Wednesday under the chairmanship of Acting Minister Mullah Mohammad Nasir Akhund to evaluate the current economic situation in Afghanistan.
During the meeting, comprehensive discussions focused on several key areas, including national trade, foreign humanitarian aid, the value of the Afghani, and the impact of negative media propaganda on the national economy.
Officials reported that Afghanistan’s trade processes remain robust and without issues, while the banking sector continues to operate stably. National revenues are being collected transparently, ensuring that necessary system expenses are met without complications.
Despite recent fluctuations, the Ministry acknowledged a slight depreciation of the Afghani against foreign currencies, mainly the US dollar. However, they attributed this decline largely to negative domestic and international propaganda rather than a reflection of the country’s economic health.
The Ministry emphasized that domestic economic factors are currently stable and play a crucial role in maintaining the Afghani’s value. They reaffirmed their commitment, alongside relevant Emirati institutions, to uphold the stability of the national economy and currency moving forward.
In conclusion, the Ministry of Finance aims to counteract the detrimental effects of misinformation while reinforcing the resilience of Afghanistan’s economy.
