Iran’s Parliament Approves Currency Redenomination to Remove Four Zeros from the Rial

Iran’s parliament has approved a law to redenominate the
national currency, which will remove four zeros from the rial. The move is
intended to simplify financial transactions and restore confidence in the
country’s monetary system, which has been struggling with prolonged inflation
and declining purchasing power.
According to the adopted plan, the Central Bank of Iran will have up to two years to prepare for the reform. This will be followed by a three-year transitional period during which both old and new currency denominations will circulate simultaneously.
Economists note that while the redenomination will not
address the underlying structural issues of Iran’s economy, it could serve as a
symbolic step toward stabilizing monetary circulation and simplifying domestic
transactions. The success of the reform, however, will largely depend on the
government’s ability to rein in inflation and strengthen the national currency.
It should be noted that in recent years, the Iranian rial has lost a significant portion of its value due to international sanctions, falling oil revenues, and internal financial instability. Experts believe the measure may represent an attempt by the authorities to demonstrate readiness for reforms and partially restore public trust in the government’s economic policy.
