Iran Press/Iran news: "The Central Bank of Iran has already taken measures required for confronting and foiling the economic pressures of the US, as well as an appropriate arrangement for controlling the exchange market and containing the inflation rate," Hemmati wrote on his Instagram page.
Efforts for sustaining and strengthening the relative stability in the foreign exchange (FX) market through implementation of special market, strengthening the integrated FX platform known as NIMA, and FX balance of the country are among them, he added.
The measures also include setting FX policies for propping up oil and non-oil exports and leading back the revenues toward the country's economic cycle, IRNA reported.
The establishment of financial mechanisms with neighbor and friendly countries and strengthening barter systems for imports also form other steps taken by Central Bank of Iran to neutralize the economic pressures.
