Usage of Pakistani rupee banned in Afghanistan

[shah1398]

This ban directly means that now we will see less counterfeit Pakistani currency notes in Pakistan. Thank U Afghanistan. For once U did something good for us (though U never meant it that way at all).

Ah, erm. Great economic policy.
I suggest other countries follow suit i.e. Iran can ban dollars, the Vietnamese can ban the Chinese Yuan and so on.

 

[litman]

so when are afghanis going back?? there economy is getting better now.

Pakistan should Ban Afgahnis and send them ASAP. We need to create 2,000 more Bab-e-Pakistan, the one just like we did on Torkham.

What a pity, Afghans refused to recognize Pakistan when it was created in 1947, they planned treacherous schemes in KPK and Balochistan trying to support sub nationalist movements , they hated Pakistan throughout their existence till now , they tried to boycott Pakistani products , but they prefer to live as refugees in Pakistan, consume Pakistani wheat and still do transactions in Pakistani rupee, really feel sorry for them !!!

Pakistan should Ban Afgahnis and send them ASAP. We need to create 2,000 more Bab-e-Pakistan, the one just like we did on Torkham.

Ban Afghans in Pakistan.

Afghanistan is making baby steps towards building their country. using their currency is a first step.

 

[-xXx-]

Sure, every country has a right to protect themselves by any means possible.

So Afghanistan can ban Pakistani currency, yes. But why does Pakistan have to host millions of Afghan refugees? Doesn't Pakistan have a right to protect themselves as well?

Very much and they are doing it for that purpose only. Or you think they have special love affair with Afghans?

They even willfully host Taliban leadership in hope of future leverage.

No free lunch anywhere, so why for Afghans in Pak? Its not.

Afghanistan's ban has no meaning. If the local population followed bans and rules - Afghanistan wouldn't be a ### cluster. Opium and other drugs are banned but Afghanistan is still the Capital of drugs. The local population are dependant on Pakistani rupees and will definitely not follow this ban.

Not today.. but they started standing on their own feet.. down the line they will be strong... its never easy to achieve big things..

So making the provisions of goods and services in Afghanistan more expensive and making Pakistani investment les attractive is "starting to stand on their own feet"?

Pakistan imports lots of fruits,scarp and charcoal from AStan, you think making these goods more expensive is somehow going to make A'Stan economy better?

Pakistani exports to A'Stan, such as rice, petroleum products, cement, pharmaceuticals, vegetables, fruits, machinery, household items, footwear, leather products, textile and wheat are mostly the only or major source of these products for A'Stan. Pakistani businesses are going to ask for payment in Rupees, not Afghanis, so making the purchase of these is going to help their economy......how?

All the A'Stani workers who cross the border for daily work, who see their purchasing power reduced due to a stronger Afghani, that helps the Afghans, how?

Ban Afghans in Pakistan.

That's a little too far for my taste, best to give a proportional response.

They will first come out of other countries' influence (pakistan in this case). Will struggle for a while.. a decade or so.. and then they will find a way out of that. That's how society progresses... they chose not to be a dependant state forever.

Ban Afghani trade and food from Pakistan.

Congrajulation to aghanistan.

It had immediate effect by strenghthening of afghani currency. A step towards self independency.

What? That's the stupidest thing I've read today.

This will negatively affect Afghanistan's economy, as Afghan exports (which make up a large part of its economy) will get more expensive, thus less competitive.

The Afghans are shooting themselves in the foot. Besides, Pakistani rupees is so much in demand, that this policy won't have much affect on most small businesses.

So afghani dont have right to protect their currency and pakistani rupee must dominate over their national currency, that is what you mean?

Afghanistan has the right to do what it feels is best, but every action as a consequence. Don't pretend that this won't negatively affect Afghanistan, it will. Everything is going to get far more expensive in Afghanistan, and considering that things were already expensive, this will only hinder Afghanistan's economic growth.
