Arresting 30 moneychangers cannot change the fundamental issues facing the currency. The loss of more than 30 percent in currency value in less than a week has caused a shock in the economy and the government needs to take as bold an action as a shock therapy to bring back the coinfidence to the market. I assume their decision today to suspend Ahmadinejad’s subsidy reform program might not be enough; they might need to dump Ahmadinejad himself to get the desired effect.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-65601944941910150772012-10-07T10:44:51.873-04:002012-10-07T10:44:51.873-04:00With enough arrests of people holding dollars in I...With enough arrests of people holding dollars in Iran, the exchange rates will go back to levels based simply on imports/exports (and not people wanting to hold their Iranian savings in dollars).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
