TEHRAN (Sputnik) – The Central Bank of Iran is working on a scheme that will allow it to use the national currency in financial exchanges with Russia, Iraq and Afghanistan, the regulator’s deputy governor, Mohsen Karimi, said on Monday.
Karimi said Iran was looking to pay for non-essential Russian imports using the rial pegged at an agreed exchange rate. He estimated potential trade exchanges in this category at between $1 billion and $1.5 billion.
«At the moment, the idea of using the international rial is being discussed with three counties — Russia, Afghanistan and Iraq. In Russia’s case, work is almost done and the project is about to be implemented,» he was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.
