After the overwhelming victory over the military, the Taliban faced the risk of the economy to collapse, posing unprecedented challenges in the country administration.

Afghanistan has not yet established the legal government since the President Ashraf Ghani's government collapsed on August 15, when the Taliban force entered the capital Kabul.

People have money but leave in the bank, mean now they don't have money anymore.

In the 1990s, the Taliban took over the power that helped the Afghan economy revived, ending the fighting between the rival and re-opening leaders.

However, there are currently no countries to recognize new regimes in Kabul, leading to heavy economic damage.

People lined up with withdrawals at an ATM in Kabul, Afghanistan, on August 21.

Meanwhile, Ajmal Ahmady, former Afghan central bank governor, said US $ 9 billion of Afghan reserves mostly sent in banks in the US.

Foreign aid and remittances from Afghan people abroad play an important role in the country's economy.

Before this situation, the observers argued that the Taliban could be forced to establish a larger and lower government, including opposing political forces.

Zakhilwal, who just returned to Kabul to participate in the negotiations sharing power with the Taliban, said he was working with this force to bring Kabul back to normal state, by re-opening banks,

In the current vague politicity, Zakhilwal said that the use of existing civil servants at key economic organizations to replace a high-level official has left the country, will be more useful than bringing

However, Taliban so far seems to be not convinced before such arguments.

In the first economic ordinance on the same day, the Taliban banned the export of scrap metal, and pledged to continue to pay payments for officials and connect the bank's activities in the near future.

Unlike the last time the Taliban took power in the 1990s, Kabul is now a modern municipality with 6 million people.

In the context of banks and most shops closed, people said scratch cards to recharge their phones became hunted in Kabul, sold at a much higher price than normal.

Baryalai, Mazar-e-Sharif city residents in the north, said ATM trees still worked but have reduced withdrawal limits from 30,000 Afghani to 10,000 Afghani every day (more than 348 USD to 116 USD).

Meanwhile, prices of basic items such as flour, cooking oil and gas have increased by 50%, people said.

They fear in the future and want to save.

The only cost is reducing is the rent.

The positive point since the Taliban came to power as the power supply across the country is more stable, partly by the need to decrease when government offices and many businesses closed.

Some restaurants and cafes in Kabul are reopening, but the business situation is very slow.

A Taliban commander in charge of the checkpoint near the cafe came to eat pastries, drinking coffee and proved satisfied.
