伊朗議會經濟委員會上周日重啟一項擱置多年的貨幣改革計劃,計劃將嚴重貶值的本國貨幣面額去掉四個零,以簡化金融交易流程。議會官網ICANA援引委員會主席沙姆斯丁·侯賽尼的聲明稱:“經濟委員會今日召開的會議批準保留‘里亞爾’作為法定貨幣名稱,并將面額去掉四個零。”
據ICANA披露,新貨幣體系下,1新里亞爾將等同于現行1萬里亞爾的價值,并可拆分為100個戈赫蘭。
當前擬議的貨幣面值調整方案最早于2019年提出,但隨后被擱置。當前的議案需經議會投票通過,并獲憲法監護委員會(Guardian Council)批準——該機構擁有立法審議權。
議會投票表決的時間尚未確定。
今年5月,伊朗央行行長穆罕默德·禮薩·法爾津表示他將大力推進該計劃,并指出伊朗里亞爾在全球經濟中“形象欠佳”。
此次貨幣改革正值伊朗面臨的經濟挑戰加劇之際,包括惡性通脹持續、貨幣急劇貶值、國際制裁長期效應顯現。
當地媒體及非官方匯率監測網站Bonbast的數據顯示,截至上周日,黑市匯率達92萬里亞爾兌1美元。
實際上,在日常交易中,伊朗民眾早已棄用里亞爾,普遍使用托曼結算。1托曼相當于10里亞爾。
2018年,在美國總統唐納德·特朗普的首個任期內,美國退出具有里程碑意義的核協議。此后,美國實施全面制裁,伊朗經濟長期承受巨大壓力。
今年1月特朗普重返白宮后,重啟對德黑蘭的"極限施壓"制裁行動。
6月,伊朗議會通過新任經濟部長阿里·馬達尼扎德任命案,其前任阿卜杜勒納賽爾·赫馬蒂因未能化解經濟困境遭議會不信任投票罷免。
同月,以色列對伊朗核設施及軍事基礎設施發動史無前例的襲擊,引爆了一場為期12天的致命戰爭。(財富中文網)

The economic commission of Iran’s parliament revived long-delayed plans on Sunday to cut four zeros from the country’s plunging currency, as part of efforts to simplify financial transactions. “Today’s meeting of the economic commission approved the name ‘rial’ as the national currency, as well as the removal of four zeros,” said the parliament’s website ICANA, quoting Shamseddin Hosseini, the commission’s chairman.
Under the proposed system, one rial would be equivalent to 10,000 at the current value and subdivided into 100 gherans, according to ICANA.
The proposed redenomination was first mooted in 2019 but then shelved. The current bill will have to pass a parliamentary vote and gain the approval of the Guardian Council, a body empowered to vet legislation.
It was not immediately clear when the parliamentary vote would take place.
In May, Iran’s Central Bank Governor Mohammad Reza Farzin said he would pursue the plan, noting that the Iranian rial “does not have a favourable image” in the global economy.
The move comes as Iran faces deepening economic challenges, including runaway inflation, a sharply devalued currency, and the prolonged impact of international sanctions.
As of Sunday, the rial was trading at around 920,000 to the US dollar on the street market, according to local media and the Bonbast website that monitors unofficial exchange rates.
In practice, Iranians have long abandoned the rial in everyday transactions, using the toman instead. One toman equals 10 rials.
Iran’s economy has long been under severe strain due to sweeping US sanctions since Washington’s 2018 withdrawal from a landmark nuclear deal during US President Donald Trump’s first term in office.
Upon returning to office in January, Trump revived his “maximum pressure” sanctions campaign on Tehran.
In June, Iranian lawmakers approved new economy minister Ali Madanizadeh after his predecessor, Abdolnaser Hemmati, was ousted in a no-confidence vote for failing to address the country’s economic woes.
The same month Israel launched an unprecedented attack on Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, beginning a deadly 12-day war.
