IMF said based on its articles of agreement, Iran is a member of the IMF, and as with all our members, the IMF will continue to work with Governor Seif and the central bank.
On May 15, the US Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control imposed sanctions on CBI Governor Valiollah Seif and Ali Tarzali, former assistant director of the bank’s International Department.
Iran is an active member of both the IMF and the World Bank, with its CBI governor and economy minister regularly participating in annual events held by both institutions.
