Da Afghanistan Bank Must Pay Damages: A New Development in Banking Regulations
Kabul, Afghanistan - In a significant move, Da Afghanistan Bank has been ordered to pay damages to individuals or entities affected by its actions. The bank must compensate those who have suffered losses as determined by the Tribunal.
Asset Distribution
The bank’s assets will be used to settle judicial expenses and other costs of the affected person or entity, followed by depositors and other creditors in that order of preference. Any remaining assets will either be transferred to their owner or forfeited to the State.
This decision is part of a broader effort to strengthen banking regulations and ensure greater transparency and accountability in the financial sector.
