Iran acts on non-dollar oil transactions

On the macroeconomic level, close to all of our oil transactions are being conducted in non-dollar currencies, the official said, adding, "Less than 20% of the transactions is being done in the Japanese currency, yen, while the payments for the rest are being made in the EU currency, euro."

In further clarification of the subject, Ghanimifard pointed out that currently the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) was receiving more than 80% of the payments for its oil exports in non-dollar currencies.
