s to the bank.The bank did not close the exact amount of money though, the statement reads that the money was delivered to Afghanistan International Bank (AIB) through the central bank of Afghanistan.
The cash in humanitarian aid by the UNAMA comes as Afghanistan’s local currency is at its lowest point ever against the US dollar.
The most recent official exchange rate I found is 96.1538 afghanis to the dollar.
It is said that the lack of a dollar has caused the local currency (Afghani) to lose its value and ultimately made the prices of food ingredients to be double.Seventh century customs lead to seventh century economies, say others.
De Afghanistan Bank in the statement said that the problem of the banking system and local currency will soon be resolved and banks will deliver their best services to people.In the meantime, officials in UNAMA said that the money is not given to authorities in Kabul but to private banks in Afghanistan so that they pay the bills of humanitarian activities of the UN.
UNAMA has announced to be given Afghanistan central bank $16 million in cash.
