KABUL (Pajhwok): Prices of flour, petroleum products and gas continued to soar during the outgoing week in Kabul, market sources said on Saturday.
Zmarai Safi, head of the Kabul traders’ union, said the wholesale price of a 49-kilogram bag of Kazakh flour jumped from 2,000afs to 2,100afs.
Speaking to Pajhwok Afghan News, he linked the hike in flour and petroleum prices to depreciation of the afghani against the US dollar.
However, the prices of other essential items remained stable. The wholesale rate of a 49-kilogram sack of Indian sugar remained unchanged at 2,950afs.
