Syed Musa Kaleem al-Falahi, head of the Islamic Bank of Afghanistan, one of Afghanistan's largest banks, says the banking sector in Afghanistan is on the brink of collapse.
Syed Musa Kaleem says Afghanistan's financial sector is going through a 'crisis'.
Syed Musa Kaleem, who moved to Dubai after the Taliban took over Afghanistan, told the BBC that people in Afghanistan were "withdrawing large numbers of money from banks."
"The situation there is that people are just withdrawing money. Besides, banks are not providing any other services.
Even before the Taliban took over in August, Afghanistan's banking sector was not very stable and relied on foreign aid to operate.
According to the World Bank, 40% of GDP is based on international aid.
But since the Taliban took over, Western countries have frozen international aid and Afghanistan cannot access its assets held by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Syed Musa Kaleem said the Taliban were looking for other ways to finance the decision.
"They are now looking at Russia and China, and a few other countries. It looks like they will be able to negotiate soon.
It should be noted that China has already indicated that it is willing to participate in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and is ready to work with the Taliban.
"There is great potential for cooperation in the reconstruction of Afghanistan, and China can play a significant role in this," said a recent report in the Chinese state-run newspaper Global Times.
But the Taliban are under pressure to find a solution to Afghanistan's financial crisis as soon as possible.
Inflation is rising sharply in the country and the country's currency, the Afghani, is depreciating. There is great unrest among the people and many people have lost their jobs and have no money.
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has warned that only five per cent of the country's nearly 40 million people have enough resources to eat daily.
According to the WFP, more than half of those surveyed said they had nothing to eat at home at least once in the past two weeks.
So for Afghanistan to survive, it is imperative that it receive immediate international funding and foreign aid.
