Afghanistan’s central Bank withdraws 2.5 billion AFN in worn banknotes

Afghanistan's central bank has announced the withdrawal of 2.5 billion Afghanis in worn banknotes as part of an effort to stabilize the country's currency and improve the overall financial system. This initiative aims to replace old and damaged notes with new ones, ensuring that the currency remains functional and trustworthy for the public. The central bank's decision comes amid ongoing economic challenges in Afghanistan, where inflation and currency devaluation have raised concerns among citizens and businesses alike.
