The Central Bank of Iran said it is undertaking efforts to improve forex supply in the volatile market by encouraging non-oil export companies to increase their currency sale.
Following a meeting with managers of currency exchange bureaus, the CBI Governor Ali Salehabadi issued an order to moneychangers to buy overseas currency income from non-oil exporters at “negotiated rates”.
That means exporters can now sell their forex income at higher rates than Nima, a special platform where exchange rates are usually lower than the open market. Rate differences have become much wider in recent days as forex prices have risen to historic highs.
