According to Bloomberg on Aug. 17, the Afghan currency fell to a record low after the Taliban took over Afghanistan. It is reported that the governor of the Afghan central bank has left the country. Afghani fell 1.7 per cent to 83.5013 to the dollar on Tuesday, the fourth day in a row, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Azimar Ahmadi, governor of the central bank of Afghanistan, wrote on Twitter on the 16th that it was not until last Thursday that the central bank stabilized currency fluctuations. But on Friday, the central bank was told that there would be no more dollar shipments, and by Saturday, the central bank had to reduce its money supply to the market, leading to more panic.
"the exchange rate rose from a stable 81 to nearly 100, and then fell back to 86," Ahmadi wrote. " "I held a meeting on Saturday to reassure banks and money changers to calm down," he said. " He also said he had left the country.
