Afghanistan Institute of Banking and Finance Officially Reopened

June 3, 2025 – Sediqullah Khalid, the first deputy governor of Da Afghanistan Bank, officially reopened the Afghanistan Institute of Banking and Finance (AIBF).

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Khalid noted that the establishment of the AIBF is part of DAB’s strategic plan, which aims to strengthen both banking and non-banking sectors, promote Shariah-compliant banking, and nurture and empower emerging talent. He highlighted the importance of capacity building in reconstructing and aligning the financial and banking sector with Sharia law.

“The AIBF will facilitate continuous professional development, introduce and implement international banking standards, and support academic research and policy development,” Khalid said, adding that through coordination, partnership, and networking, the institute will promote shared responsibility and equip employees of the banking and non-banking sectors with essential skills and competencies.

In addition, representatives from the Microfinance Investment Support Facility for Afghanistan (MISFA) and the Afghanistan Banks Association (ABC) addressed the event and expressed appreciation for the AIBF’s reopening. They emphasized that this initiative is a significant step toward strengthening the professional foundations of the country’s financial and banking sector.

Following the reopening, the AIBF launched its first training program, beginning with a workshop targeting staff from commercial banks, microfinance institutions, money service providers, and other related sectors. The program aims to enhance professional capacities, improve financial literacy, and introduce participants to international standards and modern methodologies in finance and banking.
