AFN Market Update
31 Mar 2026 • 00:36 GMT
The Afghan Afghani (AFN) remains slightly above its 3-month average against the US dollar, trading at around 0.015873. Recent activity shows the AFN has appreciated roughly 15% earlier this year, supported by Afghanistan’s currency interventions and rising commodity prices, including gold. The central bank has been active in stabilizing the currency through USD auctions, which helps limit sharper declines.
against the US dollar, the AFN is currently about 1.9% higher than its average over the past three months, and it has traded within a relatively narrow range. Meanwhile, the AFN has gained against regional currencies such as the Pakistani rupee and the Indian rupee, reflecting regional economic factors and recent strengthening trends.
Overall, while the dollar remains resilient globally, the AFN’s recent upward momentum is driven by domestic policies and regional developments. However, traders should monitor ongoing economic conditions and central bank activities, as these could influence the AFN’s trajectory further.
