An economic official who attended the meeting with President Rouhani yesterday told Mehr News Agency correspondent “they could convince the president to agree on negotiable transactions between importers and exporters in exchange market.”

The official further told MNA correspondent that they government is preparing itself to take other necessary measures to bring Rial fluctuations against foreign currencies, most notably the US dollar, under its control.
