Average liquidity growth dropped from 26.7% during 1988 to 2012 to 23.7 % between 2014-2018, said the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran.
In the first seven months of the current fiscal (started March 21), liquidity growth and monetary base followed an almost similar downward trend indicating the role of CBI efforts to sustain monetary discipline, Akbar Komijani said in a speech to the Fourth Conference on Islamic Finance held at Alzahra University in north Tehran.
The colossal rise in liquidity has been cited as one reason behind the recent currency crisis that has seen the rial lose 70% of its value in eight months.
