| You are subscribed to Collected Releases for U.S. Department of State. This information has recently been updated, and is now available. 02/25/2022 03:59 PM EST Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State The United States took action today to facilitate a broad range of commercial activity in Afghanistan that will benefit the Afghan people. General License 20 and related updated FAQs and new FAQs clarify that financial institutions, nongovernmental organizations, international organizations, and private sector companies can engage in wide-ranging transactions and activities in Afghanistan while complying with U.S. sanctions. The affected sectors include personal and commercial banking, infrastructure development and maintenance, commercial trade, safety and maintenance operations for transportation systems, and telecommunications and information transactions. To be clear, sanctions on the Taliban remain in place. Today's action facilitates private companies and aid organizations working with Afghan governing institutions and paying customs, duties, fees, and taxes, including institutions that are headed by sanctioned individuals. We stand with the people of Afghanistan as they work to rebuild their economy. Stay connected with the State Department:
