Mohammad Reza Farji Tehrani, the head of the Tehran Computer Engineers Union, said about the effect of the single rate currency on the import of electronic equipment: “It has an unfortunate effect on the IT sector and the reason is that, unlike mobile phones, which have a registry, on laptops, hard drives, CPU and RAM We don’t have such a thing and it is smuggled in and replaced.”
Faraji added about the effect of imports with a single rate currency on mobile imports: “I don’t comment on mobile because mobile has three main unions and claimants; Audio and Video Union, Telecommunications Union and Mobile Importers Association. “I believe that the single-rate currency affects the price of mobile phones, but it does not affect the business of friends.”
According to him, the price of legally imported goods will also increase. He continued about the businesses that had placed orders with half the exchange rate: “We are pursuing the rights of the union members, because friends were in line for the allocation of their half currency and have placed orders. The goods of some of them have come to the customs and they have pre-sold it to a consumer. We believe that the Central Bank and the Ministry of Economy should pay half of these people’s currency.

Faraji added: “Some of the goods have been brought out and sold with the 90% customs law.” Is it possible for someone to buy a product in foreign countries with his credit during the embargo, import it, sell it, and suddenly be told that 20% of his property will be lost? In my opinion, the businessman of this country is an economic veteran, and the friends in the government should change.”
According to Faraji, Tehran Computer Technicians Union along with 7 other unions are going to send a letter about this to the Minister of Economy, Abdul Naser Hemmati.
From Saturday, December 24, the exchange rate in the Nima system was determined by an agreement between the exporter and the importer. Before this date, the price of imported goods (Nima’i currency) was around 38-37 thousand tomans.
