The Governor of Iran’s Central Bank Tahmasb Mazaheri has said the Islamic Republic presently has $8bn in its Oil Stabilisation Fund (OSF), reported Reuters. The OSF was set up several years ago to absorb extra oil revenues when prices are high, with the accumulated savings then being used for investment purposes or to support the economy when prices are low. In October, Mazaheri suggested there was actually $9.6bn in the fund.
