On Thursday, December 20, the Central Bank of Iran denied the announcement of a bankruptcy report of one of the banks. The statement does not mention the name of the bank.
Public Relations of the Central Bank of Iran attributed the news of the bankruptcy of one of the banks of the country to "well-known media" and "in order to hit the Iranian currency market."
Although the central bank statement did not mention the name of this bank, in the past days the issue of bankruptcy of the future private bank has been raised in social networks.
Following such news, in some cities, including Dezful, Yasuj and Qazvin, depositors of the bank, gathered in front of their branches, demanded the accountability of the authorities and their repayment of their deposits.
Jalal Rasulat, the future director of the bank, said in an explanation of the confirmed news published on social networks that the reason for this was the "bank" of the Iranian economy, and said: "For this reason, most of the pressure on the enemies is centered on the destruction of the banking system of the country."
Mr. Rasullaq emphasized that "it was necessary to be careful and not allow some people's rumors to thwart people's confidence in the banks."
The Future Bank, according to a statement released on its official website, described the "claimants and rumors of these days" as "the same ones" that "during the last year in the economic war have become tools for psychological operations."
