At the same time, the government will not fulfill its obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISNA News Agency also confirmed that the regime\u2019s parliament were the ones who gave the authorization for the official exchange rate to be removed \u2018on the condition to that it will provide the necessary resources for compensating the difference for the import of basic goods, medicine, and medical equipment\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/ncri\/alternative\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a> (NCRI) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/official-exchange-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cHossein Noushabadi, a member of the Majlis National Security Commission, claimed on March 6 that Raisi\u2019s government would allocate 250,000 trillion rials in the form of electronic coupons, or $9 billion based on the current exchange rate to help people and control another currency shock.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to the state-run Mehr news agency on March 7, the Chairman of the Civil Commission of the Parliament, Mohammad Reza Rezaei Kochi stated, \u201cThe sudden removal of the official exchange rate is harmful and could result in many problems for people. Many of the essential goods are imported using this rate. Suppose the government suddenly removes or suspends the official rate. In that case, people will have a problem making a living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official exchange rate was introduced in 2018 by the government of then-President Hassan Rouhani, as a means to control the fluctuating currency rate at the time. Its implementation was supposed to be used purely for the importation of essential materials for the country, such as food and medicine. However, it was soon used by regime insiders for the importation of luxury goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of their corruption, the Rouhani government found that they did not have enough currency so started printing banknotes to make up for the shortfall, which in turn increased liquidity. With Iran\u2019s production rate sitting extremely low at 3%, this soon resulted in rising inflation and skyrocketing prices for everyday goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On November 7, 2021, the Fars News Agency published an article stating that around 5.1 quadrillion rials were embezzled by the regime through imports under the exchange rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NCRI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/official-exchange-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cRaisi intends to remove the official exchange rate, so he can direct the regime\u2019s limited resources to the export of terrorism, fuelling proxy wars and keeping the regime\u2019s oppressive apparatus on foot.\u00a0 Yet, removing the official exchange would further increase the prices of essential goods, such as food items and medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to the state-run Khabar Online website on January 18, Kazem Delkhosh, a member of the Budget Consolidation Commission warned that, \u201cRemoving the official exchange rate will increase the prices of at least 25 consumer goods, affecting the prices of 600 to 700 items, exerting crushing financial hardship on the people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On March 6, in an interview with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.setaresobh.ir\/fa\/main\/detail\/86196\/%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%B9-%D8%A2%D9%88%D8%B1%DB%8C-%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B6%D8%A7-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D8%B1%D8%B3%DB%8C-%D9%85%D8%AC%D8%AF%D8%AF-%D8%AD%D8%B0%D9%81-%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%B2-%D8%AA%D8%B1%D8%AC%DB%8C%D8%AD%DB%8C\"
