The money base and liquidity also increased by 4.4 and 5 times respectively, which lead to 40-percent inflation rate, the report said.

According to a report released by CBI on October 2, total net assets of the Iranian bank system have increased from 327 trillion rials ($13.17 billions) in 2005 to 811 trillion rials ( $32.67 billions) on March 21, 2013.

The liquidity has increased from 700 trillion rials ($28.19 billions) to 4700 trillion rials(189.3 billions) during that period.
