The founding shareholders were members of the Association of Industrial Managers of Iran, the Association of Construction Companies of Iran, the Association of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, the Iranian Society of Consulting Engineers, and Association of Architects and Urban Development Engineers, together with a group of senior bankers and, of course, the public. The Institution was registered with the Companies Registrar's Office of Tehran under registration number 157915 on December 9th, 1999. After the enactment of the "Law for Establishment of Non-State-Owned Banks" in April 2001, and ratification of the operating regulations by the Central Bank of Iran, the Board of Directors of Karafarin Credit Institution decided to opt for a banking license.

Upon receipt of the preliminary approval from the Central Bank, the capital of the Credit Institution was increased in two stages first to 100 billion rials and later to 200 billion rials (just over $25 million). Later after completion of the formalities, the Central Bank of Iran issued its final authorization for the credit institution to operate as a full-fledged bank on December 25th 2001. Karafarin Bank is now in full operation offering all the services that state-owned banks provide. It reports to and is under the supervision of the Central Bank of Iran. The employees are either experienced bankers or young educated individuals who are internally trained.

The founding shareholders were members of the Association of Industrial Managers of Iran, the Association of Construction Companies of Iran, the Association of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, the Iranian Society of Consulting Engineers, and Association of Architects and Urban Development Engineers, together with a group of senior bankers and, of course, the public. The Institution was registered with the Companies Registrar's Office of Tehran under registration number 157915 on 18/09/1378 (December 9th, 1999) and continued to operate as a non-bank credit institution until the third quarter of 1380 (December 2001). Upon approval of the "Law for Establishment of Non-State-Owned Banks" on 21/1/1379 (April 10th, 2000) and the Central Bank of Iran ratification of relevant regulations, the Board decided to opt for a banking license. On December 5th, 2001, the Central Bank issued its preliminary approval authorizing conversion of the credit institution license into a banking one. Later after completion of the formalities and receiving the final approval of the Central Bank, Karafarin Bank started its operation on December 26th, 2001. 6 Board of Directors and Executive Committee Your bank is managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of eleven members elected by the General Assembly of the Shareholders convened in the Extraordinary Session on 19/08/1384. Members of the board are elected for a period of two years. The credentials of these members had previously been approved by the Central Bank of Iran.

In addition, the bank has a number of specialized committees, in which some Directors together with outside experts, regularly participate in them. 7 2) Capital As your Bank's assets have been growing considerably, particular attention has been made by the Management to make sure its capital is sufficient to cope and comply with the standards of capital adequacy. This is the ratio between a bank's base capital and the risk carried because of the nature of its various assets. For this purpose, each asset is given a weight according to the risk it is considered to carry. This ratio is being used for the following purposes: a) to protect banks against unforeseen needs, b) to strengthen the depositors' confidence in their bank as well as the banking system. It is also an internationally accepted common denominator for entry into the international arena. The base capital consists of a bank's paid in capital and retained earnings (Tier I) plus its complementary capital (Tier II). According to the regulations, allowed exposure to various assets, including exposure to a single client, is defined according to the base capital. Our Bank's base capital has been as follows for the past four years; (billion rials) 1384 1383 1382 1381 a- Tier I Paid-up capital Legal Reserve Retained Earnings Total 700.0 117.4 33.6 851.0 350.0 67.7 0.1 417.8 200.0 36.5 2.4 238.9 200.0 13.5 1.7 215.1 b- Tier II General Reserves Total Base capital 115.4 966.5 61.3 479.1 26.5 265.4 13.7 228.8 9,235.0 10.5 4,902.0 9.8 2,132.0 12.5 1,151.0 20.0 Assets weighted according to risk Capital Adequacy Ratio (%) Upon approval of the Extraordinary General Assembly of 17/10/1383, the Bank's capital was to be raised from 350 billion rials to 2000 billion rials within a period of three years and the Board of Directors was authorized to act accordingly. Subsequently, the Board of Directors, having already obtained the approval of the Central Bank and the Tehran Stock Exchange, in its meeting of 25/12/1383 proceeded, with the capital increase from 350 billion rials to 700 billion rials. As a result, by the end of the year, the Bank's capital adequacy ratio stood at 10.5. The following table presents the composition of the Bank's shareholders by the end of 1384: Groups Real persons Legal persons Total No. of persons No. of shares % of ownership 5 470 498,962,672 71 242 201,037,328 29 5 712 700,000,000 100 8 Appointment of Legal Inspector and Auditor The General Assembly of the Shareholders convened on 05/03/1384 appointed KPMG Bayat-Rayan Chartered Accountants as Legal Inspector and Mr. Manouchehr Bayat as Alternate Inspector. 3) Some of the More Significant Activities of the Bank in 1384 (2005-2006) Deposits Received During the year under review our deposits grew considerably both in terms of amount and number of accounts.

KIC offers a full range of insurance services and hopes to capture an important share of the insurance market. We would appreciate if our shareholders direct their insurance business to KIC, thereby strengthening its activities. KIC's profit in 1383 amounted to 7,722 million rials of which the Bank's share amounted to 728 million rials, or 10.4% (at the end of 1383, only 50% of the capital was paid up). Its 1384 General Assembly has not yet been convened to approve its Accounts for 1384. Investment in Participation Bonds Participation Bonds are risk free and most liquid, which makes them an ideal instrument for short term needs. During the year under review, we maintained a sizable portfolio of these bonds, as well as investing our excess cash in these instruments. We earned 262 billion rials of 'profits' (interests) on our portfolio. Investment in Shares Quoted on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) Under the current economic situation and fall in the Stock Exchange Index, our dealing in stocks has been reduced to a minimum. In 1384, 25,459 million rials of profit was realized, which shows a growth of 67% over 1383. We have set aside a reserve of 13,207 million rials for the fall in share prices at the end of 1384. Fluctuation in the Price of Bank's Shares, and TSE - Index In early 2002, we applied for admission to the Tehran Stock Exchange, in order to facilitate transfer of our shares, as well as to benefit from tax and other advantages. Our application was finally approved by the Admissions Committee of TSE on 07/11/1381. As the first Iranian bank admitted to the TSE after the Revolution, our shares were traded for the first time on 14/4/1382 (4/7/2003) at 3,521 rials. Until the end of 1384, 257,580,811 of our shares for a value of 2,176 billion rials have been traded on the TSE. 15 The following chart compares the TSE share price index with movement in the price of our shares. The fall in the price of our shares in 1384 has been partially in connection with our capital increase and partially in connection with the falling Stock Exchange index. comparision of the TSE share price index with variation in the price of Karafarin Bank's share 14,000 12000 Market Index 12,000 Bank Index 10,000 10000 8000 8,000 6000 6,000 4000 4,000 2000 2,000 - 0 82/04/14 82/12/29 83/02/31 84/01/10 84/03/01 84/06/02 84/09/14 84/12/07 85/02/25 A summary of trading in our shares in 1384 is given below: No. of trades No. of shares traded Value of trades (billion rials) Lowest price Highest price Last price on 28/12/84 2,535 58,441,893 192 2,315 7,999 2,384 Human Resources The following table shows the distribution of our personnel according to position: Managerials Specialists Operationals Total 1384 152 85 362 599 1383 114 16 284 414 16 1382 74 17 161 282 1381 48 16 106 170 The distribution according to the level of education is given in the table below: Postgraduates Undergraduates Post High Sch.-diploma High-school diploma Others Total 1384 27 410 15 114 33 599 1383 17 259 11 97 30 414 1382 11 161 4 79 27 282 1381 6 83 5 55 21 170 Training Courses During the year under review, 24 members of our personnel and managers participated in 80 training courses and seminars, as enumerated below: - 113 persons participated in 6 training courses for new employees. - 131 persons participated in 63 courses and seminars in Iran. - 16 persons participated in 11 courses and seminars abroad. We are further planning to offer basic courses in computer science, English and accounting. A number of educational institutes are being evaluated for carrying out these programs. Participation of the Staff in the Bank's Share Capital In order to further motivate the staff, our Investment Department prepared a proposal for the participation of our personnel in the Bank's share capital. According to this plan, permanent and contractual staff may acquire shares of the Bank for up to 36 and 18 times their monthly salaries, respectively, on Credit. These shares are reserved for the staff and are transferred upon final settlement of the installments. Until the final settlement, a rate of interest of 12% is applicable. Up to-date, some 42.8 billion rials worth of shares have been purchased on the account of the personnel. Promotion From Within the Bank A program has been proposed by Human Resources for choosing Assistant Managers for branches from amongst personnel with at least 3 years of service, and who have successfully completed training courses. 17 4) Ongoing Projects and Plans for 1385 Establishment of Karafarin Leasing Company with IFC Two years ago, we announced our plans to set up a leasing company, to be called Karafarin Leasing Company (KLC), with the participation of International Finance Corporation (IFC) and a reputable international commercial bank, in 1383. Unfortunately, despite the agreement signed, our foreign partners have not as yet honored their commitments. The Bank went ahead and established the company on its own with a capital of 50 billion rials. The company has become operational in 1385. Establishment of Karafarin Brokerage Company (KBC). By the end of 1384, Karafarin Brokerage Company was ready to begin its operation. But it was not before 08/03/1385 that the TSE issued its license. Establishment of Karafarin Insurance Agency We are in the process of establishing an Insurance Agency in order to offer insurance services in all Karafarin Bank branches. The project is ready for implementation and its operation will begin in 3 branches within a month. Karafarin Bank- Head Office In 1383, the Bank's Head office, a 19-storey building on Nahid Boulevard, Tehran was purchased. All the necessary formalities have been taken care of and the building is being refurbished. It is expected to be completed by the end of Azar 1385 (November/ December 2006). 5) Recommendations and Acknowledgements Distribution of Profit The Board proposes the following distribution of profits: 1384 million rials Profit before tax Taxes Distributable profits To be appropriated as follows: Legal Reserve Bonus for non-executive Directors Dividend Undistributed profits at the beginning of the year Undistributed profits at the end of the year 18 1383 rials per share million rials rials per share 350,189 (18,830) 331,359 500 (27) 473 215,976 (8,072) 207,904 617 (23) 594 (49,704) (3,125) (245,000) 59 33,589 (71) (5) (350) 47 (31,186) (3,125) (175,000) 1,466 59 (89) (9) (500) 4 - Approval of Transactions Subject to Article 129 of the Commercial Code All transactions between the Bank and others with mutual-board-membership have been reported to the Bank's Auditors.

The rate of inflation was, according to the Central Bank data, limited to 12.1%, or 3.1 percentage points less than 1383. Unemployment at 11.5% was also 1.2 percentage points less than 1383. Improvement in the balance of payments accelerated, mainly because of rising oil prices, which approached and surpassed $70 per barrel (averaging around $51.37/b for Iran in 1384). Meanwhile, rising imports helped to absorb domestic demand. During the year under review, economic climate was much influenced by mostly non-economic factors, which helped to shape investment expectations. Uncertainty persisted almost throughout the year concerning some domestic issues, as well as the threat of international sanctions due to uranium enrichment question. 1384 was the year of presidential election and far-reaching policy changes. Even after the election, the full composition of the Government, however, was not known until the end of the second quarter and most cabinet members were relatively unknown faces. In the banking community, the prospect of lowering bank 'profit' (interest rate) through legislative action kept all concerned fairly ineffective for the better part of 1384. The Currency & Credit Council anticipated the legislature and lowered the lending rates on a relatively moderate scale before the year was over; and, somewhat unexpectedly, even instructed the privately-owned banks to follow suit. These banks were gradually increasing their share of the market and had largely succeeded to curb the unofficial black market, thereby enhancing the effective scope of monetary policy. The new interest rate policy could seriously jeopardize these results. There were also signs of recessionary tendencies during the year as stock prices fell sharply and the TSE index reached its lowest point by the end of the year: at that point, the index reached 9460 and showed a fall of 26% compared to its peak at the end of the first month of the year. The drop from the peak to the trough was more prominent for the stocks of financial institutions (-44%) compared to the industrial companies (-20%). Another barometer of the business climate was some 125% increase in the amount of dishonored promissory notes in Tehran in 1384. The increase in the number (as against the amount) of dishonored promissory notes was only 12.5%. This could be interpreted as larger businesses, which sailed through such periods in the past, were not let off this time. In the same vein, the ratio of 'problematic loans' of the banks (including write offs, doubtful loans and over-dues) to their total assets, which, according to the Vice-Governor of the Central Bank, had risen from 6.1% in 1379 to 8.6% in 1383, sharply increased to 12.5% in 1384, amounting to some 90tr rials. As for the real sector, the rate of growth of the GDP reached 7.1% in the 1st quarter, but fell in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, to rise again in the 4th. The unemployment data, however must be used with more caution, in view of some discrepancies, including the fact that there has been changes in methodology to improve employment sampling surveys. Meanwhile, the rate of growth of all the main monetary indicators increased sharply in 1384. The rate of growth of the monetary base which had increased 17.5% in 1383, shot up to 46.1% in 1384. The rate of growth of the money supply (M1) jumped from 16.3% to 25.8%. The increase was more moderate for liquidity, rising from 30.2% to34.3%, for total deposits, going from 31.4% to 35.8%, and for private sector credit, barely rising from 37.6% to 38.3%. . Further analysis is needed in order to reconcile these signals. One explanation is most certainly the Budget Supplements approved during the last two months of the year, authorizing the 23 Government to draw an additional $11.3b of the oil revenue, with important consequences and modification of year-end data. The real 'trickling down' effect of this injection will present itself in 1385. The financial position of the Government was very much affected during the last month of the year as the oil revenue rose 12 times and the subsidies quadrupled in that month. Overall, current expenditure registered a huge leap of 57.3%, while the increase in total expenditure was limited to 52.5%. The 'Deficit' (including repayment of loans) was only 3.0% above last year and the ratio of Budget Deficit to the GDP was limited to 4.9 %. The oil revenue was substantially higher than last year and reached $48.8b. Imports also jumped to $41b, which, all the same, indicated a small fall in its rate of annual growth from 29.3% to 7.3%. The result was quite an unprecedented balance of trade surplus of $19b. The only significant drop was in the capital account, which registered an outflow of $0.4, in itself quite small, but compared to the inflow of $7.4b in 1383, it showed a relative position of minus $7.8b. Consequently, our reserves neared $51b. Our debt/reserve ratio fell to 81% from 107% last year.

This was 0.6 percentage points more than the year before. The quarterly rate of growth varied from 7.1% in the 1st quarter to 5.2% in the 2nd quarter, 4.4% in the 3rd quarter, and finally 5.0% in the 4th quarter. The same pattern could be observed in Industry, which accounted for 1.3 percentage points of the total growth. Its growth of 7.1% (4.9 percentage points less than the year before) followed the same fluctuation as GDP; namely 10.9%, 6.0%, 4.0%, and 8.0% in the four quarters of the year, respectively. Industry had been growing consistently during the past four years and its growth was supported by the increasing import of machinery. Construction behaved differently in 1384. While it grew by 4.4% for the year, the pattern of growth was erratic: 11.4%, -2.8%, 10.8%, and 1.1% for the four quarters, respectively. Several observations can be made in this connection: robust first quarter, uncertainty of postpresidential-election in 2nd quarter, completion of unfinished works in 3rd quarter and seasonal slow down in the 4th quarter. Notwithstanding the interpretation, it must be said that the consumer price index, the construction whole-sale price index, and the construction services costs index all indicate slow-down in this sector. The number of construction permits issued in urban areas, also indicate a consistent (annual) decrease for every quarter during the past 2 years. 24 Water, electricity & gas, the last sub-sector of Industry, mainly controlled by the public sector, registered a rate of growth of 6.4% (compared to 9.5% for 1383) and its share in growth was 0.1 percentage point. Agriculture did well in 1384 with a rate of growth of 7.1%. This rate was three times the level of the year before, and in line with growth rates of 1382 and 1381. Usually seasonal factors play an important role in this sector. The 2nd quarter production normally accounts for almost half of the annul value added, while the 4th quarter is much less important. This pattern happened to be somewhat intensified in 1384. It is also a fact that unlike other sectors, agriculture does not much react to public or investors mood and even if it did, it would have reacted more slowly. At any rate, Agriculture’s share in the GDP growth was 1.0 percentage point in 1384 and this was 0.7 percentage points higher than the figure of the year before. The growth of the Oil sector was limited to 0.6%, compared to 2.6% in 1383. This sector accounted for 0.1 percentage points of GDP growth in 1384. As we have pointed out before, investment in the oil fields has been declining; and, unless it is revived, no notable surge in production may be expected soon. It is, however, worth pointing out that the OPEC data for the average daily oil production of Iran specifies a growth of some 7% over 1383. Services registered a growth of 5.6%, against 4.6% for 1383. Although the rate of growth of Services in the 1st quarter at 6.4% was higher than the rest of the year, there is no significant quarterly trend to refer to. This sector is the most important sector of the Iranian economy, as it accounts for more than 50% of the value added and accounted for 2.9 percentage points of the 5.4% GDP growth. During the year under review, according to the Central Bank's data, Gross Fixed Capital Formation registered a growth of 5.8% (compared to 7.0% in 1383). The quarterly pattern ranged from 10.2% in the 1st quarter to 1.2% and 1.1% in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, to rise again to 12% in the 4th quarter. This was apparently due to a jump in investment in machinery in the 4th quarter of 15.8%. For the whole year, the rate of growth of investment in machinery was 6.4%, while the rate of growth of investment in the construction was 4.٧%. Once again, the 4th quarter has played an important role in shaping the annual trend. Unfortunately, the data separating private-sector and public-sector investment are not available for further analysis.

Consequently, compared to the 3rd quarter figures, there was an important modification in trends, and the rates of growth of revenues, as well as expenditures picked up considerably. Government revenue registered an increase of 62.5% over 1383 and amounted to 654.5tr rials, while Government expenditure increased by 52.5% and reached 737.8tr rials, leaving a 'budget deficit' of 83.3tr rials, which was just ٣% more than last year. Government revenue is derived from three sources: 1) oil & gas, 2) taxes, and 3) other revenues. The direct share of the oil revenue was about 28.6% of the total revenue and amounted to 187.3tr rials. This was about 24% more than the year before. In fact, the approved budget had provided for 10.7% less dependence on the oil revenue in 1384, compared to 1383. Taxes accounted for 20.6% of total revenues and registered an increase of 3.4% over the approved budget. Tax receipts in 1384 were 59.4% higher than in 1383. This increase is mainly due to the recent 5% tax levied on the NIOC turnover. This is in effect a sales tax on oil, including domestic consumption, and, therefore, should be considered as part of the oil revenue. During the period under review, the share of tax revenue to total revenue remained around 20% and represented no significant change, but the ratio of taxes collected to tax revenue budgeted increased from 95% in 1383 to 103% in 1384, due, as stated above, to the new sales tax on oil. The share of direct taxes to total taxes was about 62.4%, while 76.7% of direct taxes consisted of income tax on corporations. Amongst indirect taxes, import taxes made up the bulk of it or 71.1%. Consequently, the share of oil in Government expenditure, including energy subsidies, amounted to 61.6% (compared to 61.7% and 62.4%, for the past two years, respectively). If we take into account Government drawing on the OSF, the figure would rise to 71% (compared to 74.9% and 76.6%, for the past two years, respectively). Adding our estimate of the sales tax on NIOC (about 33tr rials), total reliance on oil would reach 75.5% of Government expenditure in 1384. The last revenue item, “other revenues”, amounted to 332.7tr rials and, in effect, was the largest. It is composed of levies and duties and proceeds of sales of assets, as well as, a notional figure (both as revenue and expenditure) to indicate energy subsidies. The first part is self-explanatory and amounted to 65.8tr rials, or almost twice the approved budget. The second part, energy subsidies, which consists of the difference between international prices of energy products and the domestic price actually paid for them, amounted to 266.9tr rials, which was 80% more than the year before. It is noteworthy that just more than half of this item of revenue was realized in the 4th quarter. The composition of government expenditure was more or less similar to the year before; i.e., current expenditure making up about 81% of the total. There was an increase of 57.3% in current expenditure. The share of current expenditure gradually picked up during the year, from 56% in the 1st quarter to reach 72% for the 9 months and 81% for the year. 44.2% of current expenditure took place during the last quarter of the year, 37.6% of it during the last month. On the other hand, Acquisition of capital assets, or development expenditure, registered a respectable increase of 62.6% and amounted to 117.6tr rials, or 4.1% more than the 113tr rials forecasted. The share of development expenditure in total expenditure amounted to 15.9%, which was 1 percentage points over last year. In 1384, due to availability of oil revenue, the Government was able not to cut down on capital expenditure. The last part of the government expenditure, acquisition of financial assets, consists of repayment of loans. In 1384, repayment of loans amounted to 22.5tr rials, which was 28.6% less than the figure of 1383. 26 A word of explanation about the two Budget Supplements is in order. These Supplements authorized the Government to draw 102.3tr rials, or $11.3b, from the oil revenue directly instead of borrowing from the OSF, as was previously the case. $3.5b of this amount was to be used for the import of subsidized gasoline. The rest was directly converted into rials for domestic expenditure, including food subsidies, Government employees' salaries, and so forth.

The share of various sources in financing the deficit is given in the table below: Financing Budget Deficit 1382 Budget Actual Participation Bonds Foreign borrowing Privatization Oil Stabilization Fund Others Total 7% 0% 24% 51% 18% 100% 11% 0% 4% 82% 3% 100% 27 1383 Budget 16% 3% 27% 53% 2% 100% Actual 15% 0% 3% 79% 2% 100% 1384 Budget Actual 10% 3% 26% 58% 2% 100% 8% 1% 2% 83% 6% 100% In recent years, with the rise in oil price, the government has lowered its 'borrowings'; instead, it has increasingly relied on the oil revenue to finance its deficit beyond the approved budget. In the above table, government reliance on the oil revenue to finance its deficit has systematically exceeded its original estimated needs, as provided for in the approved budgets. In our presentation, repayment of loans (or “acquisition of financial assets”) is included in the Budget Deficit, to show its economic impact. Clearly, when the deficit is financed by the oil revenue, its effect on money supply may be reversed by imports, and the classical notion of its inflationary/expansionary effect is no more applicable. Employment In 1384, according to the estimate of the Iran Statistical Center, unemployment reached 11.5% and was 1.2 percentage points above 1383. The age-group most affected by unemployment, was the 15-24 year-old age-group, namely, the youth entering the labor market. Unemployment in this age-group reached 23.2%, down from 25.8% the year before. The rate was even higher in urban areas and women were hit harder than men. General unemployment in urban areas reached 13.7%, up from12.3%, while in rural areas it reached 6%, down from 6.8% in 1383. Women in urban areas were the social category most affected by unemployment: 25.1%, compared to 5.5% for their rural counterparts, both of which were lower than 1383. As a coherent system of registration of the unemployed has not yet become fully operative, the estimates differ and it is not always an easy task to reconcile the employment figures, the number of people entering the labor market, the number of jobs created and the amount of investment required to create new jobs. As of last spring, a new methodology has been adopted to estimate monthly unemployment figures, based on sampling surveys. Thus, most probably, there will be an improvement in the objectivity of the data presented. However, this makes comparison between 1384 and 1383 rather less reliable. Up to 1383, 3rd quarter employment sampling surveys were assumed to be representative of the whole year; the new methodology is based on the average of the 4 quarters. Inflation and Unemployment (1374-84) 60.0 Inflation Unemployment 50.0 40.0 30.0 20.0 10.0 0.0 1374 1375 1376 1377 1378 1379 1380 1381 1382 1383 1384 According to the 4th Economic Development Plan, by the end of the Plan in 1388 unemployment must reach 8.4%. This requires an annual average decrease of 0.9%, or 11.4% for 1384 (compared to the 12.3% mentioned in the Plan), which corresponds with the estimate. On the basis of Iran Statistical Center data, unemployment for 1384 should have reached 10.7%, which is not far from the target. 28 Monetary Sector In 1384, all the main monetary indicators registered considerable growth, which for most parts, took place in the last month of the year and coincided with increased Government expenditure just authorized by the Legislature. Liquidity reached 921 tr. rials, which showed a rate of growth of 34.3% over the year before, a record for the past 5 years. This was mostly due to another jump in term deposits. Money supply (M1) grew by 25.8%, which was considerably lower than the rate of growth in liquidity, nonetheless it largely exceeded the rates of the past two years. This increase was mainly brought about by an upsurge of 14.2% in the last month of the year, which was due to the increase of 33.7% in notes and coins in circulation and 11.1% in demand deposits. It may be concluded, therefore, that defensive reaction of savers against inflation, together with relative effectiveness of the rate of interest, should have been at least partially responsible for the growth of deposits. It could also reflect the anxieties about the stock market, and a movement to less volatile investments. The Central Bank's net foreign assets rose sharply (by some 64.4tr rials), which in turn led to an increase in the monetary base of 46.1% for the year. Concurrently, total private sector credit increased by 38.3% and by the end of the year amounted to 865 trillion rial. This rate of growth was more or less comparable to the figures for 1383 (37.6%) and 1382 (39.1%), but higher than the years before.

In fact, government net borrowing from the Central Bank, as well as other banks, was negative during the period under review. 29 Price Trends The average annual rate of inflation for the 12 months preceding the last month of 1384 reached 12.1%, which was 3.1 percentage points lower than 15.2% for 1383 and 2.5 percentage points lower than the rate of inflation projected in the Fourth Five-Year Development Plan for 1384. During the period under review, there seemed to be a definite declining monthly price-trend. The monthly rate continuously fell from 18.5% in the first month of the year to 10.6% in seven month; then it rose slightly to 11.1% and 11.3% during the next two months. During the 4th quarter, the declining trend continued, bottoming out in the last month of the year at rate of 10.2%. This rate was 6.5 percentage points less than the corresponding month of the year before the last month of 1383. Rise and fall of monthly inflation rate in the last two years is presented in the chart below. Monthly Inflation 20.0 18.0 16.0 14.0 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 84-12 84-11 84-10 84-09 84-08 84-07 84-06 84-05 84-04 84-03 84-02 84-01 83-12 83-11 83-10 83-09 83-08 83-07 83-06 83-05 83-04 83-03 83-02 83-01 0.0 The seasonal factors, as well as delayed imports by the Ministry of Commerce, led to a steep price rise in the first two months of 1384. But it was clear, as of the end of the 1st quarter that other factors will influence the behavior of consumers and affect the consumer price index. In fact, roll-back of prices to 1383 level for services offered by a number of state-owned entities (mainly public utilities), continuation of imports on a large scale, and macro economic factors related to demand and recessionary tendencies seemed to be responsible for continuously decreasing rate of inflation. This is probably the most plausible explanation, because with growth of liquidity at 34.3% it seems that inflation rate has only been contained for the time being. It is important to note that Government subsidies, especially energy subsidies, constitute an important element in suppressing the inflation rate. The whole sale price index also confirms the above trend. The average annual whole sale price rise in the last month of 1384 was 5.7% compared to 19.1% for the last month of 1383. It is also noteworthy that the average annual rate of inflation foreseen in the Fourth Five-Year Development Plan is 9.9%. 30 % Changes of GDP (at Current and Constant Prices) and Liquidity 1800 1600 1400 tr. rials 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 1376 1377 1378 GDP (Constant Prices) 1379 1380 1381 1382 GDP (Current Prices) 1383 1384 Liquidity As can be seen in the above table, the average annual rate of growth of liquidity, during the past eight years, reached 27.2 percent, while the average annual rate of growth of the GDP at current prices, during the past eight years, reached 22.2 percent. The average growth of the GDP at constant price amounted to 5.4 percent. Banking System The banking system in Iran is composed of 11 state-owned banks, 6 privately-owned banks and a number of non-bank financial institutions. At year end 1384, the government-owned banks accounted for 766.3tr rials of deposits (or 88% of total deposits) and 760.2tr rials of private credits (or 88% of total credits). And the balance is handled by the privately-owned banks. But the letter's share has continuously increased ever since their inception, as shown in the tables below.

However, rate of growth of credit granted by commercial banks declined by 6%. As specialized banks (all government-owned) were offering more attractive terms and higher subsidies, growth of credit to the private sector by these banks was just under 50%. Growth rate of credits granted by privately-owned banks dropped by 69 percentage points in 1384 (from 183% in 1383 to 114% in 1384). In this case, the reason probably could be attributed to low starting points and rapid rise in the early years of their activities. The private banks also invested their excess credit capacity in Government ‘participation bonds’. Their bond holdings of 4.7tr rials were about 3.5 times the year before. Moreover, these bonds are very liquid and could be resold at will with no capital loss; hence, a good investment in times of uncertainty. Another point of significance in the banking system has been the ratio of 'problematic loans (including write offs, doubtful loans and over-dues) to their total assets. According to the ViceGovernor of the Central Bank, this ratio has risen from 6.1% in 1379 to 8.6% in 1383 and 12.5% in 1384, amounting to some 90tr rials. Tehran Stock Market The fall of stock prices continued and reached its lowest point by the end of the year. At that point, the index reached 9459.9, which showed a fall of 26% compared to its peak attained near the end of the 1st month of the year. There was a short period of rebound in the 3rd quarter (near the end of eight month of the year), when the index was down to 9788. Then it came to a halt. The rebound, according to experts, was triggered by the official announcement of deregulation of the price of cement and was followed by a wave of optimism. Within a fortnight it rose by some 665 points, or 6.8%. But the recovery was, short lived as the price deregulation was not realized and optimism faded. 32 Tehran Stock Exchange 13000 12500 12000 11500 11000 10500 10000 9500 9000 8500 1384/09/06 1384/05/26 1384/05/08 1384/01/28 1384/01/06 8000 It is interesting to note that the percentage decrease from maxima to minima was much more prominent for the financial stock than the industrial stock. While the former registered a fall of 44%, that of the latter was 20%. This seems to indicate more tension in the financial sector. During the period under review, the amount of shares transacted in the Tehran Stock Exchange was reduced by about 47%, while the number of shares transacted remained almost the same, which is a clear indication of fall in prices. Although relatively new, the stock market has shown to be hypersensitive to political issues such as the course of the nuclear negotiations. External Position In 1384, the balance of payments showed an unprecedented positive balance of $13.6b, which was 54.5% more than the year before. This was due to 37% increase in foreign exchange earnings brought about mainly by strong oil prices, which for Iranian crude was about $51.37 per barrel for 1384, while the rate of growth of imports slowed down. The latter should seemingly be attributed to the general conjunction of factors affecting effective demand. On the other hand, as the dollar appreciated against the euro by about 10.4%, the purchasing power of our dollar revenue increased accordingly. The balance of trade surplus of $19b was even more impressive. It was three and a half times the figure for 1383 and surpassed all previous records. This rate of annual growth was maintained throughout the 4 quarters. Even if the pace of imports had not been reduced, the oil revenue at $48.8b exceeded last year by about $12.5b, which would have resulted in a more than comfortable surplus balance of trade. Consequently, despite a more-than-average negative net position in services, the same superlatives could be applied to the balance of payments current account surplus. The capital account presented a negative balance of $0.4b at the end of the year. During the past three years, the surplus capital account has substantially contributed to improvement in the balance of payment. In 1383, it amounted to some $7.4b. In comparative terms, there seems to have been a significant negative turnaround in the flow of funds of about $7.8b. During the period under review, the rate of growth of imports fell from 34.1% in 1382 and 29.2% in 1383 to 7.2%. The figure for the 9 months was even lower and registered an annual 33 increase of only 4.6%. Were it not for the 4th quarter jump (during which imports rose from $9.3b in the 3rd quarter to $12.5b in the 4th quarter of 1384, or 35%) the annual increase would still have been lower. This is a significant decline, as no modification of import regulations took place during this period and, needless to emphasize, there were no constraints so far as foreign exchange earnings were concerned. During the recent past, imports had served to absorb a major part of inflationary pressures and help keep the price rise at bay. They performed the same function in 1384. Consequently, during the period under review, the balance of payment presented yet another sizeable surplus, boosting the reserves, after taking into account statistical errors and omission, by some $13.6b. Thus, by the end of the year, according to our estimate, the country’s cumulative reserves stood at $50.8b, representing an increase of 36.4% over (the end of) the year before. The dollar equivalent of the Central Bank’s total foreign assets of 428 tr. rials by the end of the year would amount to $47.6b. During the year under review, the rial depreciated against the dollar from 8719 in 1383 to 9026 rials, or about 3.5%, which more or less corresponds to the trend in recent past. Meanwhile the dollar appreciated by 10.4% against the euro, giving a cross-rate appreciation of the rial vis-à-vis the euro of about 7.1%. Consequently, this appreciation to an extent may have offset the domestic inflation. At the end of the year, the balance of the country's foreign debts stood at $24.3b, up from $23.1b at the end of 1383, which together with other short and long-term commitments (including interests) amounted to about $41.8b. This is about 81% of our (estimated) reserves, down from 107% and 121% at the end of 1383 and 1382, respectively.

Total withdrawals from the Fund amounted to $12.2b, which would leave a balance of about $10.7b at the end of the year. 34 Oil Stabilization Fund (billion dollars) 1379 1380 1381 1382 1383 1384 Aggregate Starting Balance New Contribution Total available 0.0 5.9 5.9 5.9 2.2 8.1 7.3 5.9 13.2 8.2 5.8 14.0 8.5 10.5 19.0 9.7 13.2 22.9 43.5 43.5 Withdrawals: Private sector Public sector 0.0 0.0 0.1 0.7 0.5 4.5 1.1 4.4 1.8 7.5 2.5 9.7 6.0 26.8 Ending Balance 5.9 7.3 8.2 8.5 9.7 10.7 10.7 During the year under review, $2.5b was withdrawn by the private sector for committed projects.
