The Governor of Central Bank of Iran Abdolnasser Hemmati dismissed claims that the CBI is the "government’s biggest debtor.”
Hemmati was objecting to statements Tuesday by Mohammad-Baqer Nobakht, head of the Plann and Budget Organization.
In a meeting with a group of lawmakers, Nobakht said "the CBI is slow in changing forex income from oil export into rials. So the central bank is the biggest government debtor."
Denying the charge Hemmati said "The CBI has never been, and will never be, in debt to the government. Let's take a look at the CBI balance sheet to see who the debtor is," Hemmati wrote on his social media account.
