In an interview with an Economy correspondent from a news agency on Sunday, Shirijian provided insights into Iran's economic performance, citing data from the bank's balance of payments.
According to Shirijian, Iran's trade turnover surged to USD180 billion during the period spanning from March 21, 2023, to March 19, 2024.
