Iran's Economy Ministry Starts Chain Settlement of Healthcare Providers' Claims

Iran's minister of economic affairs and finance announced the launch of a chain-settlement scheme for mutual debts and claims involving insurers, banks and healthcare providers in a report published Thursday, October 29, 2026 from Urmia. He said the mechanism uses Gam credit instruments and electronic bills of exchange.

The report does not specify an amount already settled or identify the participating providers. The mechanism links obligations across the parties rather than treating each debt in isolation; the scale of implementation will be clearer when actual settlement figures are released.
