The country's currency has depreciated sharply! The bank is closed again!
There is little traffic on the streets, and most shops close early.
With the exception of Kabul Airport, the situation in Kabul's urban area is generally stable. More and more citizens have temporarily put aside their safety concerns and turned to focus on economic issues. Due to the sharp depreciation of the Afghani currency, food prices have risen rapidly, and people's lives have encountered difficulties.
In Afghanistan, Thursday and Friday are weekends, and Saturday is the first working day of the week. On Saturday the 28th, some Kabul citizens protested outside a bank that had been closed for many days, demanding that the bank open its doors as soon as possible.
Although the Taliban promised to open banks as usual, many banks in Kabul were still closed on the 28th, and many people are beginning to worry that they will not be able to maintain a balance of payments for some time in the future. On that day, many citizens gathered outside the bank to protest, and some people took to the streets to march.
According to reports, after the Taliban entered Kabul, Kabul began to experience cash shortages. Although some banks reopened a few days ago, they implemented strict withdrawal limits; on the 28th, most banks closed again, causing many people to be unable to withdraw cash and causing public anxiety.
