Rouhani says national currency's fall is temporary
A further slump in Iran's rial is "temporary", Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in Tuesday following the currency sank to its lowest benefit in years. A U.S. dollar was supplied for approximately 205,000 rials on Tuesday, up from 188,200 rials on Fri and 198,000 rials on early Mon, according to foreign exchange webpage Bonbast.com, which tracks the unofficial industry.The official rate, cited by the central bank website, is 42,000.

The shock created in market is temporary and does not have any fundamental financial reason and balance must return to the exchange market," Rouhani was quoted as saying by Iran's state TV.The most recent fall comes four days after the UN nuclear watchdog urged Tehran to avoid denying it usage of two suspected former nuclear sites.

President Hassan Rouhani features said this implies you will find more conditions.
