The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced it will block the already-approved funds to Afghanistan following the collapse of the Ghani Government.

The IMF, early August, had approved a historic SDR456bn (US$650bn) to boost global liquidity .

The Special Drawing Rights (SDR) is an international reserve asset, created by the IMF to supplement its member countries’ official reserves.

The value of the SDR is based on a basket of five currencies—the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Chinese renminbi, the Japanese yen, and the British pound sterling.

The Afghanistan Central Bank (DAB) was expected to receive about $450m on August 23rd via shipments due to the Country's high current deficit.

As is always the case, the IMF is guided by the views of the int'l community. There is currently a lack of clarity within the int'l community regarding recognition of a government in Afghanistan, as a consequence of which the country cannot access SDRs or other IMF resources.

IMF Spokesperson, Gerry Rice

The United States had earlier frozen approximately $9.5bn in Afghan Reserves.

Ajmal Ahmady, explained in a series of tweets, that the Central Bank vaults were empty, which is sure to cause a rise in inflation, currency depreciation and increase in food prices.

Ahmady who had earlier worked with the US Treasury and later the World Bank, was appointed Acting Governor of the Afghanistan Central Bank (DAB) last year.

Like Ghani, he has fled the Country.

I see banning of religion soon

Let them go with their money, they'll only hype the dollars they gave to some useful idiots but will never say anything about the plunder of their natural resources.

Afghanistan is not in any chaos, the streets are safer now than when America were running things.

Taliban is already offering amnesty to saboteurs and it can only get better from here.

Don't let western media fool you into thinking "Afghanistan have fallen"

If arabs can build Dubai and Saudi Arabia, Afghans can make kbul a tourist attraction.

They ain’t scared
Taxes will be imposed on its citizens to support administration

Okay

Afghans will be at the receiving end. Those that will remain in the country after evacuation will really suffer.

All thanks to Islam.

Make una leave afghans to their shithole

Western IMF should leave them too

falseprophet:

what do you see false prophet?

Wahala for who dey Islamic country

This will worsen the crises. Taliban wanted power and not necessarily Shari'a. It is just like Buhari promising Islamic north implementation of Shari'a through out Nigeria while knowing in his mind that I is not possible. Taliban has come to power via Sharia. Those who support them will be surprise when the goalpost will start to be adjusted.

Trust me, all these do not bother the Talibans, they would definitely figure ways out of creating a better and perfect economy.

I think it is good there is no money left for those barbarians to control. I just imagine Taliban having access to 164 million dollars,they will come out and say they want to be a nuclear power.....

Let the Talibans deploy their own "technocrats", let us see how they would develop a prosperous Afghanistan for the world to see, no be only to dey roam around with guns.

It's a win win situation

i dont think this solves the problem,the people in power dont care about the economy as long as allah is happy and the laws of sharia is being enforced the country can die of hunger for all they care

Okay.

And you think the West would just allow them free flow of trade of their opium into Europe and North America? Sure they would have financial backups from their friends in the Gulf region.

When hardships start taking toll on all Afghans including the Talibans, the infidels may start venting their anger on the innocent citizens by going on a beheading spree to spite the international community

I heard they executed a woman today for not wearing hijab, if the news is true, then fuckin kill the Taliban.

Nice, to all the Taliban supporters make una go start GO FUND Me for them.
Nonsense, spits, spits again, Tueh
