Frequently asked questions
Who issues the Afghan Afghani?+
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) is issued by Da Afghanistan Bank. As the monetary authority for Afghanistan, it sets policy interest rates, manages foreign reserves, and controls the money supply.

Has the Afghan Afghani been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 124% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between AFN as accounting unit and AFN as a store of value.
Is the Afghan Afghani sound money?+
On the Money2069 0–100 sound-money scale, the Afghan Afghani currently scores 66.4. The score weights inflation volatility, 10-year money-supply growth, and 1-year FX stability. Higher = closer to sound. No fiat scores 100 because no fiat has zero issuance.
