Samson: Corona Kills Iranian Riyal
Iranian riyal reached its weakest level in a year against the dollar, on Wednesday, as a sharp increase in the number of cases of coronavirus led to the closure of most of the country's borders, threatening non-oil exports, which are the main lifeblood of its economy.
According to the "Punpast.com" website for exchange rates, which tracks the free market, the dollar was offered at a high level of 158 thousand and 500 riyals, while its official price is 42 thousand riyals, which implies a 10 percent decline in the currency from it a week ago.
The number of Iranian deaths from the Corona virus rose to 19, the highest number outside China, which prompted several countries to stop flights and most of their neighbors to close their borders with them.
Already, increased pressure from US sanctions is undermining Iran's oil industry and reducing its crude exports. “The entire market is currently in shock,” said Buya Zainali, director of exports for an Iranian pistachio producer and exporter.
Closing the border and canceling flights is certain to deepen Iran's economic isolation, and it relies on trade ties with its neighbors to partially offset the devastating impact of the sanctions that Washington reimposed in 2018 after it withdrew from a nuclear agreement it and other major powers had signed with Tehran in 2015. "The economic risks are great," said Henri Rom, analyst at Eurasia Group. Non-oil exports to neighboring countries were the lifeblood of Iran during the past year. "If this temporary closure of the borders continues indefinitely, Iran may face a serious economic crisis at a time when the economy is already improving," he added.
The International Monetary Fund predicts that Iran’s growth will stabilize this year after shrinking 9.5 percent last year in the wake of US sanctions that have undermined oil sales and pushed annual inflation close to 40 percent. The currency’s decline may exacerbate inflation and harm domestic consumption, while falling exports may cause more unemployment, which some analysts expect to exceed 20 percent this year. LINK
