Tehran, Iran, March 19

The Head of the Central Bank of Iran Abdol Nasser Hemmati criticized the fact that some people both inside and outside the country are trying to use psychological means to challenge the calm in Iran's foreign exchange market.
He assured people that the foreign exchange market is keeping its own balance.
Hemmati wrote on a memo on the Instagram page that said: "I was looking at the news last night. It was very strange to me and somewhat obscure."
"In the last days of the year (end on March 21, 2019), when people got tired of economic pressures, in the light of the relative calm created in the markets as preparations for new year's eve, with the exchange rate in the free market slowly decreasing, several people tried using Twitter and other media, to raise a topic called the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and reminded people - "Do not forget: FATF adoption is disagreed upon majority of members of the Expediency Council!,” Hemmati said in an Instagram statement, Trend reports.
“Thanks God, the Forex market has lost its sensitivity to this type of statement,” the governor said.
“The government will surely apply the necessary measures in such matters and will make decisions based on the interests of the country,” Hemmati said.
