Impact of freezing foreign exchange reserves
Because the Central Bank of Afghanistan deposited its foreign exchange in the Federal Reserve, a private central bank in the United States, its assets were frozen in the United States.

Many countries in the world, such as Afghanistan, report that part of their foreign exchange is deposited in the US Federal Reserve, that is, the US Central Bank. However, after the Taliban captured Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, they regained the dominance of Afghanistan. At this time, the United States announced that it would freeze $7 billion in deposits of the Afghan Central Bank in the United States. Unauthorized distribution of funds frozen to 3.5 billion to the families of the victims of the 9 1 1 attack.

After the United States froze 7 billion yuan in Afghanistan, it divided it up, 3.5 billion yuan was given to the families of American victims, and another 3.5 billion yuan was set up under its control and distributed to the Afghan people waiting for rescue. This hegemonic practice of the United States has aroused the dissatisfaction of many countries in the world, and it has plunged Afghanistan into dire straits. In other words, Afghanistan's 3.5 billion funds are still in the hands of the United States.

Afghanistan is a war-torn country and a small landlocked country, which is relatively poor. For this country, $7 billion is an astronomical figure, which is the life-saving money for local residents. After being frozen by the United States for no reason, Afghanistan lost its foreign exchange reserves and the entire Afghan economy fell into chaos. Because of this situation, its currency continued to depreciate, and the rapid rise in prices and food prices made the purchasing power of local residents decline, the living standard continued to decline, and the whole market continued to slump.

Many countries came forward to coordinate with the United States and asked the United States to unfreeze funds in Afghanistan as soon as possible, but it was rejected by the United States. The special representative of the United States publicly stated that he would not return $7 billion to Afghanistan in the short term because the Taliban still has close ties with Al Qaeda. He believes that the Taliban will continue to support this terrorist organization. However, his one-sided statement has not been recognized by the international community. This time, a spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry also publicly called on the United States to lift the freeze on funds in Afghanistan as soon as possible, return the money to Afghanistan and give an account to the international community.
