The State Department said in a statement that the United States had allowed a number of financial and aid agencies to operate in Afghanistan for the benefit of Afghans.
With this permission, humanitarian agencies can send cash to Afghanistan for humanitarian purposes.
Financial and donor agencies have also been told that they can use the banking system for their own purposes.
Financial, donor agencies, private companies and government institutions operating in the public service may, with the permission granted, transfer money to Afghanistan through the banking system.
The State Department says it will allow such money transfers but does not conflict with international terrorism sanctions.
The State Department said in a statement that financial institutions, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and private companies may be subject to US sanctions for personal and business activities, business operations, security, transportation and telecommunications services. Carefully transfer money to Afghanistan.
The statement added that sanctions on the Taliban remain in place and that only companies and organizations that work with Afghan government entities pay taxes, customs and other fees.
“The United States stands with the Afghan people as they seek to rebuild their economy,” the State Department said in a statement.
Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that Afghanistan’s economy is in danger of collapsing.
