By Elnur Baghishov – Trend:

The price of foreign currency, mainly the dollar, will fall in Iran, Director General of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Abdolnasser Hemmati said, Trend reports citing the CBI.

According to Hemmati, currently, the real value of foreign currency, the dollar in particular, in Iran is very low compared to the market price.
