The situation in afghanistan is definitely a worst case senarioa. We have to put in the adequate safeguards so that there can be actual central bank management and policy for the benefit of the people. This is an ongoing humanitarian crisis. The money is there. It belongs to the afghan people, not to the taliban. Our shode was produced by victoria chamberlain, edited by matthew collett, fact checked by laura bullard and engineered by paul mounsey.

The US froze billions in Afghanistan’s central bank reserves when the Taliban took control. Now it’s wrestling with how to trust the Taliban with the Afghan people’s money.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin with help from Amanda Lewellyn, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Victoria Dominguez and Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
