Hemmati Holds Talks in Ankara

Governor of the Central Bank of Iran and the accompanying delegation arrived in Ankara on Thursday for talks on improving banking and monetary cooperation.
Abdolnasser Hemmati said achieving the annual trade target of $30 billion between the two neighbors would be difficult in the light of the prevailing banking hurdles. Iran is under US economic sanctions that have undermined its banking ties to the outside world.
“Reaching the $30 billion trade target demands expansion of banking and monetary ties between two sides,” Hemmati wrote in an Instagram post.
