Iran-Qatar Trade Reaches $130 Million Over Nine Months

Iran and Qatar traded 1.09 million tons of commodities worth $130 million during the first nine months of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2020-Jan. 19), showing a 31% decline in value compared with the similar period of last year, according to the chairman of Iran-Qatar Chamber of Commerce.
“Iran’s exports amounted to 1.08 million tons worth $125.19 million, registering a 30% YOY fall,” Adnan Mousapour was also quoted as saying by Fars News Agency.
“Problems in Iran’s international financial transactions and lack of direct shipping lines between the two countries are the main reasons for the decline in Iran’s exports to the neighboring Qatar.”
