Investors can finally imagine the government loosening its grip on the foreign currency market without being called dreamers. And with the prospect of change on the horizon, stocks have jumped.
Early Saturday morning, investors saw headlines that the government is embarking on "Pumping FX to Secondary Market", as reported by Donya-e-Eqtesad, with the news announcing that the Money and Credit Council has decided to limit the 42,000-rial USD to imports of essential goods and medicines, and channel all FX earnings from non-oil exports to the secondary market.
