During a visit to the Central Bank of Iran on Thursday, President Pezeshkian received a detailed report on the latest status of monetary and foreign exchange indicators and issued necessary directives to maintain financial stability and manage markets under the country’s special wartime conditions following the US-Israeli war of aggression.
In the meeting, comprehensive reports were presented on the foreign exchange market, liquidity, balance of payments, foreign reserves, monetary regulatory policies, and measures taken to manage the national economy during and after the war. The president also reviewed and assessed the process of economic policymaking and implementation on the ground.
Referring to the special conditions created by the 40-day war of aggression and simultaneous external pressures, Pezeshkian stressed the need to preserve financial stability and control inflationary expectations, noting that managing key markets—particularly the foreign exchange and money markets—under such circumstances requires full coordination between the monetary authority, the government, and other economic institutions.
Appreciating the Central Bank’s efforts in managing potential market volatility, Pezeshkian stated that its performance in controlling war-induced shocks, preventing sharp currency fluctuations, and meeting essential economic needs has been significant. He added that this reflects the institution’s strong capacity for policymaking and targeted intervention in the country’s macroeconomy.
