The International Monetary Fund says that the new Taliban Government in Afghanistan will not at the current time be allowed to access loans or other resources from the 190-nation lending organisation.
In a statement Wednesday, the IMF said it would be guided by the views of the international community.
The statement said, “There is currently a lack of clarity within the international community regarding recognition of a Government in Afghanistan, as a consequence of which the country cannot access SDRs or other IMF resources.”
SDRs are special drawing rights which serve as a reserve that IMF member countries can tap into to meet payment obligations.
