The administration of US President Joe Biden refused to open the “Taliban” (banned in Russia a terrorist organization) access to the Afghan government gold reserves and investment. It is reported by Reuters.
The United States will leave Afghanistan without billions of dollars, in spite of pressure from humanitarian groups who claim that it will lead to the total collapse of the Afghan economy. “Keeping our commitment to the Afghan people, we have not reduced the sanctions pressure on the leaders of the” Taliban “or significant restrictions on their access to the international financial system,” – the Ministry of Finance in the US
.
Most of the assets of the Central Bank of Afghanistan in the amount of $ 10 billion is abroad. They are considered a key instrument of the West to put pressure on the “Taliban” to comply with the rights of women and the rule of law.
Earlier, former German diplomat and UN official Hans-Jakob Schindler said that before the total collapse of the Afghan economy remains “a week, maybe a couple of months, if nothing happens.” The assets of the country frozen, banks are closed, and critical foreign aid stopped. Unexpected triumph of the Taliban in the country brought the country’s economy to collapse.
