Use of foreign currency adversely impacts the economy of Afghanistan and affects the lives of the Afghan people," reads the statement aas issued by Khaama Press.

The statement also mentioned that people who will breach the directives will face the consequence.

The Taliban captured Afghanistan after entering Kabul city on Aug 15 in a swift pace ever since the foreign forces started leaving the nation.
