Kabul, Sep 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) Da Afghanistan Bank (DBA), the country's central bank, announced on Sunday that it has not received any formal notification so far concerning freezing of its assets.
"So far, Da Afghanistan Bank has not received any formal notification pertaining to the freezing of monetary reserves of this bank and the bank has been informed of it through the news published by the media of the country based on the reports of foreign media," the bank said in a statement posted on its website.
