Rial Continues Its Downward Spiral


The downward spiral of the rial continued late on Saturday, with the national currency hitting new lows practically on hourly basis, finishing at 28,100 rials a dollar. Reports reaching us after the closing hour of the currency exchange centers indicate that rial has hit a new low in after-hour trading; now being traded at 29,000 rials a dollar. 

Meanwhile, the price of the official gold coin, Bahar-e Azadi, hit a historic high of 1,115,000 rials.

7:04 is a talking donkey, spouting pure nonsense and putting the blame on the wrong people. Let's be honest, it's rather due to the unjust and unfair sanctions imposed on the country.

You accuse me of being a talking donkey,LOL!
Yet you claim the people that are running the country into the ground are not to blame for their enormous cock ups!
So tell me Gache for brains,if you gamble your money away on the horses,who do you blame,the horses or yourself?

"7:04 is a talking donkey,"

Since talking donkeys are running Iran and you're working for them as a underdog,then I consider them as your superiors.

Economic collapse is just around the corner.

collapse is not really just around the corner.

the sanctions haven't yet really started to bite.

there's a year of progressively serious damage to go before collapse should even be suggested.

You would rather wither earlier, before any next year collapse would ever happen.
