The "Bull Market" is a traditional method for determining exchange rates based on supply and demand, which has been held in Kayfiyat Market for over 30 years. In recent years, the Taliban have tried to move the location of this market to Mazar Hotel Trade Market.


Exchangers say that transferring the Bull Market to Mazar Hotel could harm their activities in Kayfiyat Market. One exchanger said that the location where the Bull Market is held plays an important role in determining the main center for currency pricing.


According to this exchanger, transferring the Bull Market to Mazar Hotel could reduce the position of Kayfiyat Market exchange offices and the value of properties belonging to the exchangers of this market. The Taliban have not yet provided an official explanation regarding the blocking of these exchange offices and the transfer of the Bull Market to Mazar Hotel.


This is not the first time that Kayfiyat Market exchangers have faced Taliban action due to their opposition to transferring the Bull Market. Last year as well, the Taliban detained several exchangers from this market for a few days for the same reason.



Informed sources in Balkh say that Taliban agents on Monday, September 6, blocked more than 50 exchange offices in Kayfiyat Market, the old currency market in Mazar-i-Sharif. According to these sources, the reason for this action was the exchangers' refusal to participate in the "Bull Market" at Mazar Hotel Trade Market.
