Iranian economic analyst Hassan Khani said That Iran
imported 100 metric tons of gold this year, which led to a
significant increase in the country's gold reserves.
Hassan Khani added that gold reserves will help to
balance foreign exchange prices and in wars and
sanctions in the coming days. Iran's central bank has
claimed that Iran was one of the world's five largest gold
buyers in March and lenders have shifted their assets to
gold up to 20 percent.
