There is a big difference between the prices in the NIMA system and in the black market, Qudrati added, Trend reports referring to ISNA.
He added that the official exchange rate $1 - 42,000 rials will be gradually annulled.
This will lead to an increase in the stock prices in the investment market, Qudrati said.
