Afghanistan: Afghan Traders Abroad Face Hurdles Investing in Afghanistan

KABUL, 31 May 2022, (TON): Some Afghan traders living abroad said “current problems caused by the banking system and international sanctions, as well as the closed girls’ schools, are causing obstacles to investment in Afghanistan.”

Obaidullah Sadar Khail, head of the Afghan trader council in the UAE, told media “the problems in the banking system that began nine months ago have still not been solved.”

He said “the banking system is important for the traders and over the past nine months, this problem has not been solved.”

Maroud Zafar, head of the chicken farming union said “there are banking problems. The former government is around 1 billion Afs in debt to our traders.”

Meanwhile, the acting Minister of Commerce and Industry, Nooruddin Azizi, said that there will be good news about reopening girls’ school above grade six.

However, he said that the problems in the banking system have been imposed on Afghanistan.
