AFN Market Update
07 Apr 2026 • 00:36 GMT
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) remains relatively stable against the US dollar, trading at approximately 0.015345, about 1.6% below its three-month average. The currency has traded within a narrow range, showing some resilience despite recent regional economic influences.
Afghanistan’s central bank continues active efforts to stabilize the AFN through dollar auctions, injecting millions of USD into the market. This intervention aims to support the currency amid ongoing regional economic shifts. The AFN appreciated significantly in early 2024 by around 15%, bolstered by rising gold prices and regional economic adjustments.
Against major currencies, the AFN is slightly weaker against the US dollar, and also trades near its average against the euro and the Canadian Dollar, maintaining some volatility but without large swings. Its near-equivalent levels against the Japanese yen and the British Pound reflect ongoing cautiousness in the currency market.
Overall, the AFN shows signs of stabilizing after recent fluctuations, supported by central bank actions and positive commodity trends. However, currency movements will continue to be influenced by regional political developments, commodity prices, and Afghanistan’s economic policies.
