Relations between Iran and the US have deteriorated since Washington withdrew last year from a 2015 deal to limit Iran's nuclear activities.

However, on Monday, Mr Trump said he had "good feelings" about the prospect of a new nuclear deal with Iran.

I think that the new deal is set to be signed..just a matter of time for Iran to sign it...and when they do, goodbye sanctions....all good from here on then. Cheers all

I will not be surprised if sanctions are lifted before then....Trump said Monday that “we’re looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles and a longer period of time” for current sunset clauses in the nuclear deal. “Very simple,” he said. “We can have it done in a very short period of time.”

Heads of three branches hold Supreme Council of Economic Coordination’s session

August 31, 2019

TEHRAN – President Hassan Rouhani, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani and Judiciary Chief Hojjatoleslam Ebrahim Raeisi held a session of Supreme Council of Economic Coordination on Saturday.

Regulations to implement oil projects were approved in the meeting.

First Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri, Presidential chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi, Vice President for Economic Affairs Mohammad Nahavandian, Governor of Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Abdolnasser Hemmati, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs Farhad Dejpasand, Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli, Energy Minister Reza Ardakanian, Head of Iran Planning and Budget Organization (PBO) Mohammad Baqer Nobakht, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, Iran’s prosecutor general, and a number of MPs attended the session.

The previous session of the Supreme Council of Economic Coordination was held on August 10 during which Rouhani said that solving people’s problems must be the main objective of policy making and decision making.

With an indirect reference to the reimposition of sanctions on Iran by the Trump administration, the president said, “Both the people and the government have passed difficult times, however, decisions can be taken in line with economic stability and progress and the people’s prosperity.”

Last year, the Trump administration abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal and ordered old and new sanctions on Iran. The move resulted in a great devaluation of national currency and high price rises. However, nearly after a year the economy is stabilizing.
 
Rouhani said his administration is making efforts to resolve the people’s economic problems.

To counter the effects of sanctions, the government is taking compensatory measures.

During a session of the Supreme Council of Economic Coordination on July 27, four strategies to compensate for budget deficit were approved.

Transferring government’s assets, using forex reserves, selling Islamic bonds, and withdrawing 450 trillion rials (about $10.714 billion) from National Development Fund (NDF) were the four strategies approved in that session.

During a session of the council on July 13, the amendments to the national budget plan for the current calendar year (started on March 21) had been approved.

The generalities of a modified budget plan, which has been restructured in line with the country’s “resilience economy”, were approved.

The modifications consist of four major parts, which are “sustainable revenue resources”, “effective expenditure”, “promoting stability, development and justice” as well as “fundamental modifications of budgetary system”. 

They are aimed at reducing the country’s dependence on oil money and promoting economic stability under the umbrella term “resistance economy”, ordered by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 

It was decided in that session that the council would study the priorities in the amendment plan in its next gathering.

Iranian bank to open branch in India 

August 31, 2019
 
3223379.jpg

TEHRAN – Iran’s Bank Pasargad is going to open a branch in India in the next couple of months to help boost trade between the two countries by providing a channel to bypass the U.S. sanctions which have blocked international banking channels, Financial Express reported.

According to Iran’s Ambassador to India Ali Chegeni, Bank Pasargad has received all necessary approvals including from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to start commercial banking operations.

“It [Bank Pasargad] will start operations in 2-3 months,” he said on the sidelines of an industry event in India.

Back in July 2018, Indian Express reported that India approved a proposal from Iran’s Bank Pasargad to open a branch in Mumbai.

According to the report, the Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) had earlier approached RBI suggesting that they should allow the entry of Iranian banks into India to facilitate bilateral trade.

Meanwhile, sources said two banks from Iran, Bank Pasargad and Parsian Bank, had applied to set up branches in India, while another Iranian lender, Saman Bank, had sent an application to set up a representative office. 

The Indian government cleared only the Tehran Stock Exchange-listed Bank Pasargad’s proposal for a branch in Mumbai, while the other Iranian banks’ plans are yet to get the green light.

The presence of an Iranian bank in India will open up a significant financial channel that will ensure the smooth flow of funds between the two countries. India imports a large quantity of oil from Iran and has committed an investment of $500 million for the development of the crucial Chabahar port.

TEHRAN – Governor of Central Bank of Iran (CBI) said the bank’s current programs are mainly focused on controlling liquidity and supporting domestic production, IRNA reported on Saturday.

Speaking in the 30th edition of Islamic Banking Conference in Tehran, Abdolnasser Hemmati mentioned some of CBI’s major plans and programs for the current Iranian calendar year (began on March 21).

The official underlined the significant impact of the bank’s new policies on the country’s currency market and economy, noting that “reforming the country’s banking system is a long-term process which cannot be achieved over night.”

Hemmati stated that CBI has neither overlooked nor postponed reformation of banking system and the bank has always had modification of banking system on its agenda.

“CBI is taking all necessary measures to control the foreign exchange market in order to maintain market equilibrium in the country,” he added.

“The foreign exchange market is stable, and the reinjection of exports revenues into NIMA are getting better which is a sign that the country’s businessmen and traders are welcoming CBI’s recent foreign exchange policies,” he said.

He further mentioned the downward trend of inflation in the country over the past few months, saying that most of the inflation in the market is pertained to the services sector which is being closely monitored and will be controlled in near future.

MRC Calls for Currency Swap Deals

MRC Calls for Currency Swap Deals

The Majlis Research Center, the influential research arm of the parliament, has stressed the need to start currency swap deals with the main trading partners to help keep the economy immune against hostile US sanctions. 

"Transferring money is a key challenge for manufactures wanting to import raw material. Currency swap between central banks outside the purview of SWIFT could be a solution for skirting the sanctions," the MRC said. 

It estimates that deals with China, the UAE, Turkey, South Korea, India, Japan and Italy could help protect at least half of Iran’s total foreign trade against sanctions.

WASHINGTON — Former national security adviser John Bolton’s abrupt departure on Tuesday came after President Donald Trump suggested he might lift some U.S. sanctions on Iran as an incentive for Tehran to come to the negotiating table, according to a person close to Bolton.

This person said Trump raised the idea of lifting sanctions during a discussion with Bolton in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon. Bolton made clear to the president that he strongly disagreed with the idea, this person said.

Regulated Forex Market Awaiting Okay From Iran's CB

Head of the company that oversees the long-awaited regulated foreign exchange market says the market is ready to start functioning and is awaiting a final go-ahead by the regulator. 

In response to speculations that the scheme has been shelved by the Central Bank of Iran, Mahmoud Shekasteband said the groundwork is ready for launching the market. 

“Launching the market is on the agenda of the government and the CBI, but it is the policymaker that should decide the timing,” he was quoted as saying by IRNA. 

Little is known about the mechanism of the much-publicized regulated currency market, which is often touted as the government’s pivotal scheme to organize the often chaotic forex market.

The Central Bank of Iran has developed a new platform, Diba, to supervise open banking operations, says Aboutaleb Najafi, CEO of Informatics Services Corporation, noting that regulated forex market is also planned to function on this platform. 

"Diba is a regulatory platform like Shaparak, which was developed to regulate the operation of payment service provider companies. Banks have started to offer open banking services, allowing developers to create applications and offer innovative financial services," he was quoted as saying by IBENA. 

Banks will be required to get their open banking platforms connected to Diba, so that the CBI can supervise account-based transactions (as opposed to card-based transactions), he said.
