Iranian Government Throws a Lifeline to Tire Companies

Tire companies are to be provided with subsidized foreign currency at a faster pace, with the government raising the status of their raw material imports to ‘high priority’.
In a move to preserve its foreign reserves, the government introduced a multitier system for allocation of subsidized foreign currency for imports.
