Washington-Sana
The International Monetary Fund announced today that Afghanistan will not be able to access Fund resources, including a new allocation of Special Drawing Rights (SDR) reserves, due to a lack of clarity about recognizing its government after the Taliban took control of the capital, Kabul.
"As always, the IMF is guided by the views of the international community and there is currently a lack of clarity within the international community regarding the recognition of a government in Afghanistan," an IMF spokesman said in a statement reported by Reuters.
"As a result, this country does not have access to the Special Drawing Rights or any other resources of the International Monetary Fund," he stressed.
