The announcement was made during a meeting with local traders, industrialists, and guild officials on Sunday.
Khalid said that anyone who violates the ban will face legal action and urged the business community to support the national currency.
He also praised the efforts of the traders, investors, and industrialists who pledged not to use foreign currencies in their transactions.
