Afghanistan receives another $40m in aid

Afghanistan received $40 million in cash as part of humanitarian aid on Monday, the Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB), the country’s central bank, said.

The new round of aid has been deposited in a commercial bank, DAB said in a statement released.

This is the second batch of $40 million sent to Afghanistan over the past week.

Afghanistan’s foreign exchange reserve has soared to more than $1.5 billion due to cash injections over the past year. (Xinhua)
