He made the remarks late on Sat. in an interview with FNA and added, “Iran’s exports situation to neighboring Iraq is unfavorable in a way that export of products to Iraq has declined in the last month (July 21) as compared to a month earlier.”
Reduced exchange rate and government’s exertion of pressure on exporters for repatriating exports currency have been cited as one of the main reasons behind significant reduction behind Iran’s export of products to Iran, he emphasized.
