Central Bank Revenue Shows $357M Drop: Official
The state-owned Central Bank’s revenue was nearly Afs 900 million ($11.5 million) in the fiscal year 1399 (2020), showing an Afs 28 billion ($357 million) reduction compared to the fiscal year 1398 (2019), in which it collected Afs 29 billion ($370 million), an official of the bank said Tuesday.
The acting governor of the Central Bank, Ajmal Ahmady, did not attend a press conference that was intended to "offer accountability," as described by the government.
“He (Ahmady) is a bit sick. He did not come to the office for some days,” said Nisar Ahmad Yusufzai, head of the bank assessment affairs of the Central Bank.
