KABUL: The plan, prepared by Da Afghanistan Bank– the country’s central bank, is feasible, said the Deputy Prime Minister for economic affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar in the economic meeting he chaired the other day. The plan was made for the regulation of the money exchangers’ works, obtaining work permits and avoiding money laundering abroad, said a statement quoting him as saying in the meeting.
The economic commission also approved the execution of the plan made by the state-run gas and petroleum company for exclusively importing crude oil from abroad in order to prevent the import of substandard petroleum and avoid the harms originated from it to human and the transportation vehicles, said the statement.
The state-controlled gas and petroleum enterprise has also been tasked to submit the crude materials for refinery and processing, after importing, to the private sector, the source said.
