Under these circumstances, CBI and banking officials should propose approaches for the transfer of oil revenues, director for international affairs of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Mohsen Qamsari said.
The private sector can definitely facilitate oil money transfer operations, he added.
Qamsari said that the private sector could not buy oil at low prices to sell at higher price in international markets.
