's Managing Director Adel Nejad-Salim said in the opening ceremony that all petrochemical products will be gradually offered on the market, IRNA news agency reported.
The oil bourse is intended as an exchange market for petroleum, gas, and petrochemicals in various currencies, primarily the euro and Iranian rial, and a basket of other major currencies.
On February 4, 2008 the Iranian Cabinet approved the creation of the oil bourse in two stages - first for crude and second for oil byproducts transactions.
Iran, having the world's second largest gas reserves and third largest oil reserves, is trying to play a more active role in oil and petrochemical transactions in international markets.

Indeed this is good news. Unfortunately Gordon Wagner has a point, as Iraq had similar plans which no doubt played a very large role in our decision to invade Iraq and kill more than one million Iraqi civilians. If this succeeds, the rest of the world will owe Iran an enormous dept of gratitude, in helping us tame the worlds only super-bully. [Report Abuse | Email to a Friend | Reply to this Comment]
