Afghani ($AFN) Climbs 9% Under Tight Taliban Controls
Quick Glance: Afghani ($AFN) Rises 9% Under Tight Taliban Control
  • Billions of dollars from humanitarian aid and rising trade with Asian neighbors have propelled Afghanistan's currency to the top of global rankings this quarter — an unusual spot for a poverty-stricken country with one of the world's worst human rights records.

  • The ruling Taliban, which seized power two years ago, has also implemented a series of measures to maintain control over the afghani, including banning the use of dollars and Pakistani rupees in local transactions and tightening restrictions on exporting greenbacks from the country.
