Washington — The US on Wednesday announced that it would transfer $3.5bn in Afghan central bank assets to a new Swiss-based trust fund that will be shielded from the Taliban and used to help stabilise Afghanistan’s collapsed economy.
The Afghan Fund, managed by a board of trustees, could pay for critical imports such as electricity, cover debt payments to international financial institutions, protecting Afghanistan’s eligibility for development aid, and fund the printing of new currency.
“The Afghan Fund will protect, preserve and make targeted disbursements of that $3.5bn to help provide greater stability to the Afghan economy,” the US Treasury said in a statement.
