Forex Markets Remain Closed Amid Money Exchangers Strike
The country’s main forex markets have remained closed for the past four days amid a strike by money exchangers who are protesting the Central Bank’s move to issue company-based licenses instead of individual permits.
The ongoing strike by money exchangers has created problems for Kabul residents who need to exchange and transfer funds as the city has only one main forex market.
Money changers who are asking for a renewal of an individual rather than corporate license say that they won’t stop their protest until the government responds to their demands.
