Figures by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) show Iran’s assets in foreign banks rose by 7% in the quarter to December compared to the same quarter in 2021.
BIS figures covered in a Wednesday report by the official IRNA news agency showed that Iranian assets held in foreign banks and financial institutions had reached $18.586 billion in the three months to December 2022.
The figures indicated that more than half of the Iranian foreign assets reported in the December quarter were held in foreign bank accounts and the rest were controlled by non-banking financial institutions.
