The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) released official foreign currency rates for February 22, 2026. Overall, most major currencies in Iran rose slightly, while a few fell. The CBI reported that 38 currencies gained value, and 7 lost value compared to February 21. For example, one U.S. dollar now equals 1,289,994 rials, up from 1,289,070. One euro costs 1,520,061 rials, slightly higher than 1,518,535.
In addition, other major currencies in Iran showed small changes. The British pound fell to 1,738,898 rials from 1,740,076. The Swiss franc increased to 1,663,288 rials from 1,661,746. The Swedish krona rose to 142,357 rials, and the Norwegian krone increased to 135,368 rials. Meanwhile, the Danish krone is 203,342 rials, up from 203,275. Moreover, regional currencies also moved. The UAE dirham rose to 351,258 rials. The Kuwaiti dinar increased to 4,206,759 rials.
The Canadian dollar now equals 942,548 rials. The Australian dollar is 913,324 rials, and the New Zealand dollar is 770,901 rials. At the same time, the Saudi riyal rose to 343,998 rials. In Asia, currencies changed slightly. The Japanese yen is 831,887 rials per 100 yen, up from 831,674. The Chinese yuan rose to 186,714 rials. The South Korean won is 891,847 rials per 1,000 won. Meanwhile, the Indian rupee increased slightly to 14,217 rials.
The CBI also set rates for currency exchange offices under the SANA system. Under this system, one euro costs 1,616,363 rials. One U.S. dollar equals 1,371,720 rials. However, the black market in Iran offers higher rates. One U.S. dollar trades around 1.61–1.64 million rials. One euro is worth 1.9–1.93 million rials. These rates reflect demand in unofficial markets, which often differ from official rates.
Finally, the daily updates help banks, businesses, and citizens in Iran track currency trends. Analysts say monitoring these rates is important to understand Iran’s economic changes. As a result, many Iranians watch both markets closely. Consequently, these trends influence trade, imports, and everyday prices for goods and services across Iran.
