The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) officially fixed the USD rate at 12,600 rials nine months ago and head of CBI Mahmoud Bahmani promised last day to keep the USD rate low (15, 000 rials) in near future.
According to Fars News Agency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Ali Larijani and his brother Sadeq Larijani, the heads of Iran's triple executive, judiciary and legislature systems respectively held a meeting, mostly focused on USD fluctuations in Iran.
