RFERL:

Two weeks after the Rouhani administration introduced its new foreign exchange policy of a single rate for US dollar, travellers and businesses complain that foreign currency is not available at the government-imposed rate of 42,000 rials for a dollar.

Vice-President Ali Asghar Mounesan told the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) on Monday April 23 that travel agents have been complaining about limitations and ambiguities in the new policy.

The problem is more serious for those who need to travel to a third country in order to get a visa for entry into their destination country and therefor need more foreign currency.

Meanwhile the rising price of dollars continues to impact the economy as media reported on Sunday April 22 that the import of vehicles has come to a halt and the price of home appliances has been on the rise during the past week.
