Iran plans to inject more foreign currency into its economy following the agreement with the United States.
DUBAI, June 24 (Reuters) - Iran will significantly increase its foreign currency allocations from Saturday, following improved access to foreign assets and a recent easing of restrictions on oil exports, the Nour News website quoted Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati as saying on Wednesday.
An interim agreement signed last week between Tehran and Washington stipulates that the United States will issue temporary exemptions for the export of Iranian energy products and improve Iran's access to its frozen assets abroad.
Hemmati said the bank would inject part of its reserves into the economy, making an initial $1 billion available on Saturday to the industrial sector, and would help control inflation and import essential goods.
