10,000 Plus Marriage Loans Paid in 1 Month

Banks paid marriage loans worth 7,781 trillion rials to 10,681 newlyweds since the beginning of the current fiscal year (March 21) up until April 24.
The loans were given in line with provisions of the fiscal budget that have considerably raised the amount, the Central Bank of Iran said.
Banks have often been criticized for their aversion to lend to new couples who claim that they lack sufficient funds. According to an IRIB report 82,000 applicants are on the waiting list for loans as banks refuse to budge.
