The governmental policy for the foreign currency is not based on specialized work.

In an interview with the economic reporter of Tasnim News Agency, referring to the governmental wrong foreign currency policies, Abolfazl Rohani Golpayegani stated, “I am afraid these policies have not been studied with a suitable specialized method yet, that is why their implementation has not led to positive results.”

Arguing that the classification of goods for the allocation of foreign currency should definitely be reviewed, he added, “Nowadays, the manufacturers are facing numerous problems with the procurement of their own raw materials which should be paid attention to by the authorities.”

The head of the Commission of Industries at the Chamber of Commerce stated, “It seems that the government should have asked a committee of manufacturers of different sectors to give their opinions before the announcement of the list of prohibited importing goods so that the individuals would not import miscellaneous goods without any connection with the scope of their own activities.”

Announcing that the government can agree with a fixed exchange rate and allocate the governmental exchange rate of dollar to the basic goods and medicines, Roghani said, “Nowadays, the expenditure of the foreign currency resources should be reasonable so that all the industrial sectors can supply their necessary materials.”

He continued to talk about the change in the governmental dollar rate and added, “After the introduction of the secondary market, the dollar was supposed to change to some percents so that it would finally have an appropriate price, but this issue has not implemented yet while the governmental rate for foreign currency will surely exceed the rate of 4200Tomans.”
