EghtesadOnline: Restrictions on foreign currency trade by authorized exchange bureaus have pushed people towards the black market, chief of the founding board of Association of Bureaux de Change Operators of Iran said.

EghtesadOnline: The central bank governor said volume of foreign currency trade in the secondary market amounted to €7.3 billion in the past two months. Abdolnaser Hemmati predicted that this amount would accelerate because the government has bestowed more power on the Central Bank of Iran to offer forex from petrochemical exports and other non-oil exporters in the secondary market, the regulator reported on its website on Saturday.
