The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) announced updated official foreign exchange rates, revealing that most currencies weakened against the Iranian rial. Only two currencies experienced an increase, while forty-four others saw their values drop relative to the previous day.
The official rate for the US dollar settled at 1,325,744 rials, marking a slight decline from the previous day's 1,333,256 rials. The euro followed the downward trend, valued at 1,514,385 rials, lower than the 1,523,294 rials posted a day earlier.
The Central Bank also adopted the SANA system to regulate currency exchange offices, where foreign currency prices differ notably from the official figures. According to the SANA system, one euro trades at 1,696,861 rials, and the US dollar at 1,485,490 rials, both significantly higher than the official CBI rates.
Meanwhile, the unofficial or black market continues to report even wider spreads. The US dollar is pegged between approximately 1.76 million and 1.79 million rials, whereas the euro fetches roughly 2.01 million to 2.04 million rials, highlighting ongoing currency market pressures.
Among other major currencies, the British pound was valued at 1,772,639 rials, the Swiss franc at 1,642,852 rials, and the Canadian dollar at 933,953 rials in official CBI rates. Most regional and global currencies reflected similar declines, underscoring persistent rial volatility.
This systematic adjustment in currency valuations reflects the Central Bank's effort to manage exchange rate stability amid economic challenges, offering transparency through the SANA platform while illustrating the significant gap between official and market-driven prices.
