Iran's non-oil exports hit $61 billion in past 18 months: Minister

Iran exported more than $60bn worth of non-oil goods during the past one and a half year, said economy minister on Monday. 

“Iran’s non-oil exports reached 61 billion dollars in the past 18 months,” said Farhad Dejpasand, Iran’s Economy Minister on Monday. 

He added that only 27 billion dollars have been repatriated, that is, 45 percent of the total sum. 

Iran obliged exporters several months ago to repatriate their forex revenues in a bid to resuscitate the country’s economy.
