        in Teheran:  09:00 bis 14:30 Uhr

Iran’s central bank has eliminated a subsidized, cheaper rate for foreign currency and reported a weaker official rate in its place, according to Iranian media and the central bank’s website on Saturday. On Saturday, the central bank on its website listed the price of a dollar at 24,779 rials. Iran’s Mehr and ISNA news agencies said that rate would replace the previous official ‘reference’ rate of 12,260 rials to the dollar. There was no statement from the central bank on Saturday explaining the change. The new rate is still far stronger than the value of the rial in Iran’s unofficial market of small currency traders, where most Iranians can access hard currency. 

The rial was trading for about 33,000 to the dollar in the open market on Saturday, currency-tracking websites said, less than half of its value in 2011. Since January 2012, the Iranian government had maintained a subsidized rate of 12,260 rials to the dollar to be used for importing the most essential goods such as food and medicine. Iranian media said the newly announced rate means the government now recognizes only one official rate for the rial. At times in the last year, the government had recognized multiple rates in a tiered system designed to provide dollars at prices depending on what class of imports they were being used to purchase, with basic goods prioritized over what were considered luxury items. 

Die iranische Zentralbank hat heute, am 16. Juli 2013, eine Erklärung zur Einführung der einheitlichen Devisenrate gegeben.  Die Einführung einer einheitlichen Devisenrate sei durch das iranische Haushaltsgesetz des laufenden Jahres 1392 (welches mit mehrmonatiger Verzögerung in Kraft getreten war) vorgeschrieben.  Nach dem Haushaltsgesetz ist die Zentralbank für Kontrolle und Manage­ment des Devisenmarktes zuständig. Die Zentral­bank legt den staatlichen Devisenkurs täglich neu fest und ist auch für die Festlegung der Berechnungskurse für die Einnahmen des Ölministeriums sowie des Schatzamtes zuständig.  Die Einflussnahme auf den Freimarktkurs hängt u.a. von den Aussenhandelsinteressen und der Wirtschaft des Iran ab.  

 TEHRAN (FNA)- Managing-Director of the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL) Mohammad Hossein Dajmar downplayed the effects of the recent western sanctions against the country, and said Tehran is not concerned about marine transportation of goods from or to its ports.

"We have no concerns and we can cover the transportation of the needed goods like before," Dajmar told FNA on Wednesday when asked about the effects of the recent western sanctions against Iran's shipping and sea transportation.  He said despite the fact that Iranian ships cannot sail to the European coasts, "we are fully covering Iran's trade with the Far East".  Dajmar also assured Iranian export and import companies that the new western sanctions will not cause any increase in prices for carrying their goods to or from the country.
