The government has set the 28,500 rials price for the free market but the brokers refuse to trade dollar at the mentioned price.
Dollar price had reached 40,000 rials in October but by inauguration of the foreign exchange center the prices fell to 27,000 rials.
Critics believe that the Iranian government is not controlling the price of dollar at the free market on purpose. They claim that the government wants to take advantage of selling dollar at the free market to compensate its lack of budget.
The government maintains an official reference rate of 12,260 rials to the dollar, but only a limited amount of foreign exchange is available at this rate.
