The informal currency market is active, but all the people pay for the increase in its exchange rate Rohallah Yazdaka, member of the Parliament's Economic Committee: The black market of foreign exchange is still active and there is a question why instead of dealing with it effectively, the pressure of the exchange rate increase is transferred to the entire economy? When the unofficial market rate is the basis for decision-making, the increase in the price of the currency affects the costs of production, the price of goods and economic activities, and its pressure is placed on the shoulders of a large population of people. At the same time, black market rates are effectively determined by a network of informal channels and street deals. If the goal is to deal with rent and control inflation and inflationary expectations, it must be determined who sets the informal market rate and why it is ineffective.
