resignation m June when he was replaced by Mr. Y. R. Jones from Bombay
The only important factor affecting the Bank's business during the year that
calls for remark is the institution of Exchange Control in March last. ^
In fixing the rates for exchange operations the Government overlooked the
basic factors of the Exchange Position of the Country and the repurcussions of
the import of Railway and War Material and the depreciation of silver.
The natural result of the fixing of an arbitrarily low rate in concurrence with the
world fall in the prices was to reduce the already inadequate exports from Persia
and aggravate the situation it was hoped to remedy. The Foreign business of
the Bank had of course steadily dwindled though fortunately their Inland onera-
tions have been maintained. ■
So far no important failures have supervened in Kerman but the outlook for
1031 is dark, and gradual and steady liquidation of the Imperial Bank of Persia’s
claims is their present policy.

c osure of their activities m all branches. The Government; have not however
followed the matter up any further. er
