From The BBC: IMF suspends Afghanistan's access to funds
"The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said Afghanistan will no longer be able to access the lender's resources.
The move follows the Taliban's takeover of the country last weekend.
An IMF spokesperson said it was due to "lack of clarity within the international community" over recognising a government in Afghanistan.
Resources of over $370m (£268m) from the IMF had been set to arrive on 23 August."

There's much more text, including mention of the U.S. freezing of Afghan assets, and photos at the link.
