Tehran, Iran, Sept.27
Trend:
The priority of Central Bank of Iran (CBI) is to provide official foreign currency rate for import of basic goods and medicine, and for the control of foreign exchange market, said the CBI Governor.
"Despite the sanctions and imposed pressures, current foreign currency situation in Iran is stable, and this allowed us to pursue other priorities including the conditions of free zones," said Abdolnaser Hemmati, Trend reports citing ISNA.
"The only way to solve the economic war is to prioritize economic issues," he indicated.
The Governor of Central Bank of Iran emphasized that the main priority for CBI is to provide official foreign currency rate of 42,000 rial per dollar to import basic goods and medicine.
"Fortunately, the country's basic goods and medicine reserves are in optimal condition due to the CBI policies. Controlling inflation and foreign exchange market as well as helping economic growth is on the CBI agenda," he noted.
The official also stressed that developing the potential of Iran's free zones will help the economic growth, but it requires addressing investment issues.
