Iran is looking to bolster its oil production and economy after world powers in January lifted sanctions against the Islamic Republic in return for Tehran complying with a deal to curb its nuclear ambitions.

在世界強權1月間解除對伊朗的制裁，以交換德黑蘭遵守一份旨在抑制其核子野心的協議後，伊朗正期盼提升其石油生產與經濟。

Valiollah Seif, the head of the central bank of Iran, cautioned that it could take some time for banks to get used to the credit card system.

伊朗中央銀行總裁塞夫警告，可能要花一點時間讓銀行適應信用卡系統。

"It would be incorrect to think that these cards will be used quickly within the banking network," ISNA quoted Seif as saying.

「認為這些信用卡很快地就會在銀行網絡內使用是不正確的。」ISNA 引述塞夫的說法報導。

The cards will be offered with limits of approximately 3,000, 10,000 and 15,000 dollars and can be used for purchases in shops or online.

伊朗發行的信用卡有使用上限，約3000、1萬與1萬5000美元3種，可在商店或網路購物時使用。
