Q1 Metal Trade Triples to $3.2b

Iran traded $3.2 billion worth of metals in the first quarter of the current fiscal year (March 21-June 21). 
Exports stood at $2.6 billion as imports during the period were worth $527 million, according to a report by Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
The trade volume registered a 200% growth compared with the same period of last year, mainly due to the 300% growth in exports.
The TCCIM report also noted that the main driver of growth in metal exports was the 600% upsurge in steel coil exports, the chamber’s news portal reported.
