CNN’s Ward: Afghanistan Is On The Brink Of A Severe Economic Recession

Clarissa Ward:  “But the other real crisis facing Afghans right now, Brianna, is an economic crisis. And make no mistake about it, this country is on the precipice of a massive and severe economic recession. We’re not just talking about purse strings being tightened, we are talking about starvation and hunger potentially. Essentially what’s happened is that there is a total liquidity crisis. There is no cash coming in to Afghanistan. The Central Bank has been effectively frozen.”
