CBI Transfers Money for Vaccine Import

The Governor of Central Bank of Iran Abdolnasser Hemmati said the bank has made the advance payment for importing Covid-19 vaccine. 
In a note on his social media account late Tuesday, he said the money was “deposited with a World Health Organization account via two Iranian banks and three European banks on the first working day of January.” 
He did not elaborate on the amount. Earlier he had said that the CBI would “pay €200 million to buy 16.8 million doses of the vaccine from Covax”.
