Iran's Exchange-Centre Dollar Rate Rises While Open-Market Dollar Moves Lower

The Iran Center for Exchange and Gold announced a dollar remittance rate of 1,821,868 rials, or 182,186 tomans, for Sunday, 18 October 2026, about 0.3% above the previous day's 181,641 tomans. By contrast, Sahmino's open-market dollar quote at 11:29 the same day stood at 2,617,900 rials, or 261,790 tomans, down 0.77% day on day. These are rates in different markets, and their opposite moves do not imply that all currency buyers face the same terms.
