A system for buy/sell operations of gold and gold coins will be established in Iran by the end of the current Iranian year (from March 20, 2020 to March 21, 2021), Vice-Chairman of the Tehran Gold and Jewelry Guild Union Mohammad Kashtiaray told Ibena news agency, Trend reports.
Kashtiaray noted that there is no exact information about the current gold trade in Iran, how much gold the citizens have and so on.
The official added that with the establishment of this system, many suspicious transactions, money laundering and brokerage can be prevented.
According to him, this system will protect the interests of customers and individuals who are operating in the area of gold and gold coins.
