Afghanistan Receives $80M Every 14 Days: SIGAR

The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in its newly released report that millions of dollars have been delivered in separate shipments to Afghanistan in the last three months.

SIGAR also said that each shipment has been worth an average of $80 million and has been delivered to Kabul within 10 to 14 days which are saved in the private banks in the accounts of the UN. 

“The State Department told SIGAR last quarter that UN cash shipments-averaging $80 million each—arrive in Kabul every 10–14 days. According to UNAMA, all cash is placed in designated UN accounts in private banks; no cash deposited in central banks/provided to Taliban,” SIGAR stated. 

Officials in the Islamic Emirate say that the money that is delivered to Kabul through the UN is spent on education, health, and development projects and the Islamic Emirate just evaluates the progress of the aid organizations’ activities.
 
“The aid given by the countries is implemented through international institutions in Kabul, this money is available to them, and the Islamic Emirate does not benefit from this money,” said Zabihullah Mujahid, the spokesman of the Islamic Emirate.

“We want the aid to have a development aspect and to be given to the Islamic Emirate so that we can advance infrastructure projects for the development and economic growth of Afghanistan,” said Abdul Latif Nazari, the deputy of the Ministry of Economy

On the other hand, some economic experts consider the assistance of the international community to the people of Afghanistan fruitful for Afghanistan and say that the effects of these cash packages are positive in maintaining monetary stability and economic growth.

“The money that comes every week or in each 15 days, can be beneficial to the economy, trade and stability of the afghani in every sector,” said Mohammad Nabi Afghan, an economic expert.

Before this, in their latest report the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) stated that around 69 percent of Afghans do not have access to sufficient resources for their basic needs. 

According to the report, the economy of Afghanistan has decreased by 27 percent since 2020, and 7 out of 10 Afghans are unable to fulfill their basic needs for food, health care, and employment.
