Year ended March 20,2013, Middle East Bank had only five months of operation in that year A Note on the Iranian Calendar Iran’s official calendar is a solar calendar that starts on the first day of spring and ends on the last day of winter. The government of Iran as well as Iranian banks have adopted the calendar year as their fiscal year. This Annual Report is for fiscal year 1396, coinciding with the calendar year 1396, that started on March 21, 2017 and ended on March 20, 2018. A Note on the Exchange Rate of the Iranian Rial On March 20, 2018, the official exchange rate of the US dollar was: USD1 = IRR37,690. Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors In 1396, the rate of economic growth reached 3.7 percent, most of which took place in the first half of the year. This was set against the very high rate of 12.5 percent, coupled with the lowest annual inflation rate during the past 25 years in 1395. Consequently, the actual budget performance was considerably below the approved budget, due to the optimistic forecasts for tax and oil revenues, resulting in the budget deficit of IRR270 trillion, 5.7 percent above its level in 1395. The increase in crude oil prices and its exports, in spite of the decline in the value and volume of natural gas condensates and oil products, brought about 8.4 percent rise in the goods account of the balance of payments. The unilateral withdrawal of the US from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Actions, rumors of the return of nuclear sanctions and pressures that were going to be imposed on the economy of Iran, adversely affected the foreign exchange rate in 1396 and foreign currencies sharply appreciated in the last quarter of the year. The average USD/IRR exchange rate in 1396 rose by 11.1 percent compared to the preceding year. The monetary base and liquidity at the end of 1396 increased by 19.1 percent and 22.1 percent, respectively, compared to a year earlier. In the same period, the balance of facilities extended by the banking system and the deposits of banks and non-bank credit institutions grew by 12.0 percent and 29.3 percent, in that order. In recent years, different interest rates were set by the banks to attract deposits, a decision which was then corrected by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) in the second half of the year and all banks were obliged to follow the CBI regulations. The expansion of international banking relations was influenced by recent political developments which have caused some complications for the banking system. Nonetheless, Middle East Bank (MEB) maintained its profitability like previous years and recorded a favorable performance in 1396. Moving in accordance with its predetermined strategy, fulfillment of its approved budget and realization of profits, which were around 40 percent of the bank’s capital, securing low levels of non-performing loans and leading the credit portfolio to low-risk and productive customers, expansion and diversity in foreign exchange operations, and providing modern and high– quality services indicate the satisfactory performance of the Bank in 1396. Obtaining the permit of establishing a branch in Munich was the other outstanding achievement of the Bank in 1396. Our success was owing to the commitment of the Board of Directors, the Managing Director, and the bank’s employees to international regulations and standards and the effectiveness of corporate governance, compliance, risk and internal audit functions. Moreover, the Bank’s efforts to prepare the financial statements in strict conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which was due to the bank’s policies to increase transparency and providing relevant and reliable information to its shareholders and creditors, led to its success in 1396. These statements have been audited and sent to the CBI. All these achievements are indebted to the shareholders and all my colleagues in MEB. I find it also necessary to express my sincere gratitude to the members of our Board of Directors, Executive Board, senior managers, and specifically our Managing Director, Dr. Parviz Aghili-Kermani.

  • Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration
    Secondary Sanctions on the Iranian Financial Sector Create De Facto Embargo with Lasting Implications for the Biden Administration Abigail Eineman IRAN WATCH REPORT John P. Caves III January 2021 1 Introduction During their confirmation hearings last week in the U.S. Senate, President Joe Biden's key national security nominees noted that the new administration was prepared to return to the nuclear accord with Iran, but warned that such a return would not be swift. First, Iran would have to resume compliance with the accord's nuclear restrictions in a verifiable manner, according to Secretary of State designate Antony Blinken, at which point the United States would resume compliance as well. President Biden’s choice for director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, estimated during her confirmation hearing that “we are a long ways from that.”1 Compliance for the United States would mean reversing at least part of the Trump administration's “maximum pressure” campaign—a set of overlapping trade and financial restrictions on almost every part of Iran's economy. The outgoing administration made such a reversal more challenging, particularly as a result of the sanctions imposed on Iran's financial sector in the administration's final months. On October 8, 2020, the United States designated Iran’s financial sector pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13902 and sanctioned eighteen Iranian banks.2 In doing so, the U.S. Treasury Department applied secondary sanctions to Iran's entire financial sector for the first time, potentially barring foreign entities from the U.S. financial system should they do business with Iranian banks.
