Approximately $27.5 billion was repatriated by non-oil exporters to the secondary currency market known locally as Nima (Integrated Forex Deals System) since the fifth month of last calendar year (July 23-August 22, 2018) up until now, the central bank governor said Tuesday.
Abdolnasser Hemmati said of the said amount, $3 billion was brought back in the form of machinery, goods and raw materials as per CBI rules that allow exporting companies to use a portion of their overseas earnings to import their own needs or of third parties in the country, the website of the Central Bank of Iran reported.
