5.9m Tons of Essential Goods Worth $4.5 Billion Imported in Q1

A total of 5.9 million tons of essential goods worth $4.5 billion were imported during the first three months of the current Iranian year (March 21-June 21), according to a customs official.
Foroud Asgari also told ISNA that a major portion of essential goods were imported using subsidized foreign currency at the rate of 42,000 rials per dollar.
The cheap dollar allocation at the so-called “preferential rate” was abolished by the government of President Ebrahim Raisi recently.
