However the report doesn’t include the deferred debts, which went over $2.38 billion by the end of the last Iranian fiscal year (March 20, 2017).

Iran’s short-term foreign debts amounted to $3.638 billion, while long-term debts stood at $6.108 billion by Nov. 22, according to CBI.

Iran’s foreign debt was on decline from 2007 to March 2015, dropping from $28.647 billion to $5.108 billion.

The country’s foreign debts stood at $19.185 billion in 2012, $7.682 billion in 2013 and $6.655 billion in 2014, according to the Central Bank of Iran.
