President Rouhani: US trying to disrupt Iran’s forex market

President Hassan Rouhani said on Thursday that the US has hatched new plots to harm Iran’s economy by disrupting the country’s foreign currency market.

According to Tasnim news agency, Rouhani said via video links while opening five industrial projects in Southeastern Sistan and Balouchistan Province one thing that can foil the US plot is activating the country’s production and export sectors.

He added that the government is making all-out efforts to remove the obstacles in the way of production.

He further said that an electronic government would facilitate the administrative processes. “The electronic government is one of the objectives the government will pursue seriously this year and people will see the results in the coming months”.

The Iranian president also said that the government will ramp up pressure on the country’s exporters to return the hard currency they have earned over the past two and a half years to the forex market where prices have soared to highs not seen in decades.
