Paulette …There will be a significant amount of USD going to Iran for imports and this will continue but under the “new mechanism”…Merchants conducting Legal business can purchase USD for 1320…Who is willing to pay nearly 14% more for their imports at 1530? The Market is clearly still filled with corruption! The Sudani GOI is stating all the right things about taking action against the corrupt that are causing this significant difference in the official and market rates and perhaps this is how they are “smoking out” the corrupt. Time will Tell…it seems the clock is ticking.
