Foreign Currency Operations One of the concerns of this department is to facilitate processes and foreign exchange operations and to accelerate the import of goods into the country especially essential commodities like medications in the face of sanctions. This is highly important and always emphasized by senior management. Foreign exchange operations including L/C, bills of exchange, and incoming and outgoing money orders as well as the letters of guarantee in the years 2014/15 to 2019/20 are shown in the following table:

2019/20 2018/19 2017/18 2016/17 2015/16 2014/15 Import letters of credit 54.88 289.36 721.55 502.81 518.18 1,396.20 Import bills of exchange 1,631.65 1,088.44 264.79 291.96 47.11 46.27 Letters of guarantee 19.27 26.88 54.36 32.15 13.38 20.43 Incoming international money orders 3,921.33 7,521.34 2,881.57 1,749.91 3,585.33 3,835.95 Outgoing international money orders 6,591.74 7,885.20 5,304.21 4,793.46 3,267.21 4,463.99 12,218.86 16,811.22 9,226.48 7,370.29 7,431.22 9,762.84

(Figures in USD millions).

As shown in the above table, the foreign currency operations of the bank in 2019/20 is about USD 8.27 billion, which is 3.5 Percentage of higher than the set target of USD 8 billion. Since Saman was chosen by the CBI as the official agent for Indian Rupee, payment orders received from CBI equivalent to INR 189 billion were processed during the reported year. In spite of sanctions by some correspondent banks, Saman managed to secure 19.7 Percentage of share of the entire foreign currency operations in Iranian banking system until 19 February 2020 as documented by CBI statistics. This shows 17 Percentage of growth compared with similar period in the previous financial year which is a significant achievement for the bank.

36 Annual Report 37 Bank’s Revenue Revenue from foreign currency operations is IRR 3,987 billion.

Bank’s Performance in Currency Exchange During the reported year, foreign currency exchange for the import of commodities and services was carried out through the banks and through the NIMA (CBI’s Foreign Exchange Management Integrated system) as well as the foreign currency earned from export of petrochemical and non-petrochemical products. According to the CBI reports, performance of Saman bank in foreign currency exchange during the reported year has been as follows: The total amount of currencies allocated to Saman Bank at the bank rate was about USD 3,82 billion. USD 498 million was sourced from arrangements agreed by tripartite agreements involving intermediary companies and USD 339 million was sourced from exports. A number of correspondent banks didn’t process our applications, yet we purchased USD 3.14 billion from the CBI. The 15 Percentage of reduction in purchase during 2019/20 compared to the previous year is due to CBI’s foreign exchange policy which changed the priority scale of some commodities. In total, the amount of foreign currency allocated to Saman Bank in NIMA rate was about USD 5,95 billion, but the amount purchased was only USD 1,61 billion due to the reduction of CBI’S foreign exchange resources. Despite CBI’s policies changing the classification of some commodities from priority one (qualifying for subsidised exchange rate) to priority two (qualifying for NIMA rate) and also re-classifying the priority two group into 21, 22, 23 (staples, food and medicine) and 24, 25, 26 (foreign currency for individual needs), the total amount sold to applicants with NIMA rate in 2019/20 increased by about 61 Percentage of compared to 2018/19. The amount of purchase and consequently the sale of foreign currency sourced from export of petrochemical products were about USD 589 million. Saman’s position as the CBI agent for purchase of foreign currency (USD, Euro and UAE Dirham) earned from exports by petrochemical companies through exchange bureaus allowed for doubling the amount compared to the previous year.

Settlement of Foreign Currency Liabilities Based on the information from the CBI’s foreign currency liability settlement system, the percentage of unsettled foreign currency liabilities of Saman in early 2019 (6 April 2019) was 15.84 Percentage. With continuous training of relevant branches on various methods to reduce foreign exchange liabilities in the said system, which is a complex system, as well as holding regular meetings with representatives of corporate banking, retail banking, compliance and AML, we managed to reduce the unsettled liabilities to 4.58 Percentage Investments and Assemblies Affairs on 18 March 2020 which means 11.26 Percentage of reduction.
