The Taliban-run Ministry of Mines and Petroleum said on Thursday that it has earned about $137 million in 2025 from crude oil extracted from the Amu Darya basin, one of the country’s key energy fields.

Taliban spokesman for the ministry, Homayoun Afghan, said 268,989 tonnes of crude oil were produced from the Amu Darya oil field during the year and sold to domestic companies for processing, generating revenues of $137,048,053.

The announcement comes as the Taliban continue to withhold details of Afghanistan’s national budget, including overall revenue and expenditure figures, prompting concerns among economists about transparency and oversight.
