INSTEX - Iran Trade Promotion Plan

February 5 , 2019 2148 days 857 0
  • Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) is a project of the three governments of UK, France and Germany to bypass US sanctions on Iran.
  • INSTEX is a special payment system which will help to save the Iran nuclear deal by allowing Tehran to keep trading with EU companies despite Washington re-imposing sanctions.
  • INSTEX would receive payments from companies that want to trade with Iran, either by receiving waivers for oil imports or permissible trade in goods like food and medicine.
  • As a result, there would be no direct transfer of funds between Iran and European companies.
  • This would theoretically insulate firms from U.S. penalties.
