Afghanistan's currency crumbles to record lows
CNN
Afghanistan's currency has tumbled to record lows this week as the Taliban seizes control of the impoverished nation and a shortage of US dollars sets off panic.
The afghani traded to 86 per US dollar on Wednesday, down sharply from about 80 a week ago, according to Refinitiv. The currency plunge reflects concern about the future of Afghanistan after the capital of Kabul fell into the hands of the Taliban, a repressive militant group sanctioned by the United States and other world powers.More Related News
