The prices of goods have been gradually increasing in the Afghan capital, Kabul, whose banks have been closed since the arrival of the Taliban group last week.

According to information from the Afghan media, both banking institutions and the main currency exchange market, Sarai Shahzada, have not been serving customers since last week.

Through a statement issued on August 21, the market explained that, since the exchange of currencies depends directly on the Central Bank of the nation, it will remain closed until the entity decides to resume its operations.

ATMs are not operational either

Sources of the aforementioned portal indicated that the payment of salaries to officials and other employees of private organizations is paralyzed, which left thousands of people in limbo.

So far, the insurgents have not yet pronounced on the economic situation or their plans to reactivate the economy pending the configuration of a new government.

The founder and CEO of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, expressed his wish that the new US government can have a “more open” policy, which would benefit the economy and the US companies themselves.

“We hope that the US government can have a more open policy for the benefit of US companies and the development of their economy”, Ren said in a meeting with the media.

In this sense, the Chinese businessman has not hesitated to be willing to discuss the situation with the new president of the United States, Joe Biden, in his first comments on the matter since the change of tenant in the White House.

However, the businessman acknowledged the difficulty of the Chinese company leaving the list of entities of the US government, which imposes restrictions on its activity in the country and with US companies. “I won’t say it’s impossible, but it’s extremely difficult, so basically, we don’t have that expectation.”

Gina Raimondo, nominated by Biden as the new US commerce secretary, said last week that she currently saw no reason why companies included in the entity list should not remain there.
