  2. Iraq to deposit billions in TBI to pay for Iran’s energy import: Source Sun Aug 25, 2019 04:07PM [Updated: Sun Aug 25, 2019 04:34PM ] Home Iran Economy A handout picture provided by the Iranian presidency on July 22, 2019 shows Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (R) posing for a picture with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi at Sa’ad Abad Palace Complex, the presidential residence, in the capital Tehran. (AFP photo) A senior source active in Iran’s trade with Iraq says the Arab country is to deposit several billions of US dollars in an account in an Iraqi bank to pay for imports of energy from Tehran as well as for other debts. Seyyed Hamid Hosseini said on Sunday that $4-5 billion will be deposited to the special account in the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) to settle Iraq’s debts to Iran, including those related to the imports of electricity and gas over the past years, based on a recent agreement between governments of the two neighboring countries. Hosseini, who serves as the secretary of Iran-Iraq Joint Chamber of Commerce, told the Tasnim news agency that authorities from the two countries had agreed to use the account as an special financial instrument to evade US sanctions on Iran and allow Tehran to pay for imports of non-sanction goods through the account. “Unfortunately, in practice ... this mechanism hit a snag and became entangled in administrative bureaucracy,” he said, adding that American bank JPMorgan Chase, which controls shares in the TBI, has been stonewalling Iran’s access to the account. PressTV-Iran seeks bigger share in Iraq’s construction market Iran is planning to increase its share in construction ventures in neighboring Iraq. Hosseini said businessmen and private sector activists had currently no major problems doing trade between Iran and Iraq, adding that the TBI mechanism had been expected to accommodate government-to-government transactions between the two countries. Iran is still the number one supplier of natural gas and electricity to Iraq despite growing pressure from the United States which seeks to cut the exports to zero. Baghdad has secured rounds of waivers from US sanctions, insisting that it has no alternative to replace energy imports from Iran.
  3. TCCIM Examines Wisdom of Currency Redenomination TCCIM Examines Wisdom of Currency Redenomination ..... In a comparative study the Economic Research Department of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture has probed the experience of currency redenomination in other countries and the context within which the policies were implemented. Referring to the rial revaluation plan on the government agenda, the study points to similar decisions by other countries and says “the policy does not necessarily produce the desired results. Its success or failure is contingent upon the groundwork (before and after) for enforcing the plan”. It said such plans have been successful in countries where governments have implemented comprehensive policies to overhaul the economy prior to embracing the redenomination strategy. Moreover, in these countries corrective policies have been maintained by implementing a “stabilization program” years after enforcement of the redenomination plan.
  4. And 0.35-0.37 cents aud....350,000 or 370,000 per 1,000,000 hmmm....
  5. True....I bought mine from a so called registered treasury approved business and took screenshots of their website, kept all receipts so I bought most of mine for sanctions hit....but we cross that bridge when we get to it...
  6. I also remember that you might have to travel to cash in, and if you are in the us this might be a little difficult because I remember posting earlier in this thread that transactions cannot start and end in usd! What impact that will have who knows until then we must wait.
  7. Will there be? One of the reasons why there are sanctions is because they have four years refused to rejoin the international monetary system and comply with aml/ctf rules and guideline. We know they have passed important legilsation but until they revalue their currency and rejoin they will have monetary sanctions in place. So how will this go down we all just have to wait and see!
  8. Iran to scrap rial for good as parseh becomes small currency unit Wed Aug 21, 2019 02:35PM [Updated: Wed Aug 21, 2019 02:51PM ] Home Iran Economy Iran’s smallest unit of currency, equal to a hundredth of a toman, will be named parseh. (Photo by AFP) The rial, the currency unit used consistently in Iran for almost a century, will be totally abandoned once the country introduces a redenomination. Iran’s new small unit of currency under toman will be named parseh and not rial, as previously reported in the media, based on the terms of a bill sent by the government to the parliament on Wednesday. The bill said the rial will continue to remain a legal tender for a maximum of two years of transition period which will begin once the new currency is introduced to the markets. “After the transition period, all liabilities that have been accrued based on the currency unit of rial will only be settled through the currency unit of toman,” read a sub-article of the bill, a copy of which was circulating in the Iranian media on Wednesday. PressTV-Currency overhaul to cost Iran nearly $160m: Report The official IRNA agency estimates that currency overhaul would cost Iran around $160 million. Iran’s decision to slash four zeros off the rial comes less than a year after the national currency plunged in the face of a series of American sanctions. The rial regained some of its footing last month after the government announced measures to narrow the gap between the price of the currency in the unregulated market and a system meant to collect foreign currencies earned from exports. Analysts believe redenomination of currency in Iran will have a slight psychological impact on the markets as the government tries to improve macroeconomic indicators.
  9. Bill on national currency reconversion submitted to Parliament TEHRAN, Aug. 21 (MNA) – Iranian President Hassan Rouhani submitted the bill on reforming monetary and banking law including ‘eliminating four zeros from national currency and national currency reconversion’ to the Parliament. According to this bill, Iran’s national currency will be changed from rials to toman and each toman would be equal to 10,000 rials or 100 rial parseh. On July 31, the government approved a plan to take four zeros off the national currency in a bid to curb the tide of liquidity and impede rial depreciation. The plan to remove four zeros from the rial has been on the government agenda since it was proposed about seven month ago by Central Bank of Iran as part of a broader plan to revisit the monetary system. The measure stipulates change in the nominal value and the face of bank notes and coins. On August 6, Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Abdolnaser Hemmati said that crossing out four zeros from national currency, Rial, will have no impact on inflation rate adding that the central bank is ready to implement the plan. He explained that removing four zeros will have no costs for the government since CBI annually prints about 700 million of new bank notes and replacing the old ones with the new ones is a routine procedure. He said that lopping off of four zeros from national currency will for sure facilitate daily transactions but to get implemented the government’s ratified plan needs Parliament’s approval, as well.
  10. 47 Iran: Rial Revaluation Bill Sent to Majlis Iran: Rial Revaluation Bill Sent to Majlis ..... President Hassan Rouhani sent the rial redenomination bill to the Majlis on Wednesday for debate. As per the ‘Reforming Monetary and Banking Law’ bill, four zeros will be shaved off the national currency and the monetary unit will switch officially from the rial to the commonly used toman, the official government website, dolat.ir reported. Originally floated as a Central Bank of Iran proposal, the bill was approved by the government earlier in the month. It must be endorsed by the Majlis to become law. Accordingly, the minor monetary unit of the new currency will be dubbed ‘parseh’.

  14. Business And Markets August 20, 2019 19:42 Iran's Economy Improving Gradually CBI data show out of the total 7,737 trillion rials ($60 billion) loans paid in the last fiscal year (ended March 2019), 4,319 trillion rials ($33.3 billion) was allocated to help raise the working capital of businesses ..... Leaving behind months of rainy days, Iran’s economy is showing signs of improvement in major variables, governor of the Central Bank of Iran said on Monday. Speaking on prime time state TV, Abdolnasser Hemmati spoke of relative improvement in macroeconomic indices like inflation, forex rates and liquidity in recent months, following instability and turmoil in almost all domestic markets last year. “The national currency regained 40% of its value,” Hemmati said. The rial fell more than 60% in unprecedented market fluctuations during April-September 2018, spurred by threats of new US economic sanctions and dim prospects for currency reserves as oil revenues took a drubbing unseen in recent decades.
