Hamid Pourmohammadi, the head of the Organization for Planning and Budget, emphasized at the annual event of the Iranian Financial Association that entering the field of digital currencies could be an efficient solution to overcome the economic sanctions crisis. Referring to the role of new technologies like artificial intelligence in transforming the financial industry, he pointed out that these technologies can help optimize investment processes and identify risks. Pourmohammadi also criticized the lack of a common language between the financial sector and the government to utilize the capacity of digital currencies, stating that despite years of efforts, Iran’s economy is still government-oriented and financial knowledge has not been able to diminish the government’s role in this area.
