The government set a 28,500 Rial price on the free market but brokers are refusing to trade the dollar at that price.
Critics believe that Iranian government is not controlling the price of dollar on the free market on purpose. They claim that the government wants to take advantage of selling dollar at the free market in order 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.
