KABUL (Pajhwok): The prices of food items, diesel, liquefied gas and gold soared as a result of unprecedented decrease in value of Afghani currency while the price of petrol dipped down during the outgoing week in Kabul, market sources said on Thursday.
Moneychanger Ahmad Shah said the buying rate of one US dollar was 63.50afs, while 1,000 Pakistani rupees accounted for 607afs. Last week's exchange value of the dollar stood at 62.59afs and 1,000 Pakistani rupees at 594afs.
He linked the deduction in Afghani currency value to the increased insecurity . . .
