The officials further added, the delegation is to hire a representative company there to oversee the sale of assets repossessed from borrowers.
According to Da Afghanistan Bank officials, Noorullah Delawari Chief of Da Afghanistan Bank following his visit to United States of America last month detailed the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank officials with the efforts to recover the lost public money.
