The Taliban has revealed it is banning the use of foreign currencies in Afghanistan
The move to ban the use of foreign currencies such as the US dollar could further disrupt the Afghan economy which is already on the brink of collapse.
Afghanistan’s economy is struggling due to the withdrawal of international financial support after the Taliban took control.
The US dollar has been used widely in Afghanistan’s markets
Currencies are also often used for trade in areas bordering Afghanistan’s neighbours such as Pakistan.
“Anyone violating this order will face legal action,” the statement said
Following the takeover of Afghanistan by Taliban in August, billions of dollars of the country’s overseas assets were frozen by the US Federal Reserve and central banks in Europe.
The militant group, which is now governing Afghanistan has called for the release of country’s assets that are being held overseas as the nation faces a severe cash crunch.
Afghanistan has also been hit by the exodus of foreign aid. Grants from overseas previously financed three quarters of its public spending.

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.
A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.
Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.
On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.
Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.
