The strength of currencies of different countries in the world is different. Currencies like US dollar, Euro and British pound are considered much stronger than the Indian rupee. Whereas the currency of countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka is weak compared to the Indian Rupee, where one Indian Rupee has three to four times more strength, but among all these, there is a country where the strength of the Indian Rupee is many times more.
This country is Iran and its currency is Iranian Rial. According to the report of Vice.com, one Indian Rupee is equal to approximately 463.11 Iranian Rials. This means that only Rs 216 in India is worth more than 1 lakh Riyal in Iran. If the calculation is done in reverse, then the amount of 10 lakh riyals in Iran remains equal to only 215 rupees in India. This is the reason why Iranian Rial is counted among the weakest currencies in the world.

The weakness of the Iranian Rial is nothing new. This currency has been under pressure for the last several decades, but the situation has become worse in recent years. At the end of December 2025, Iran’s economy got into a serious crisis when the unofficial rate of the US dollar increased to about 1.4 million riyals per dollar. This level was considered the worst in the economic history of Iran.
Falling value of Iranian Rial
According to experts, the Iranian Rial has lost about 90 percent of its value since 2018. The biggest reason for this is the international sanctions imposed on Iran. Due to these sanctions, Iran’s oil exports, foreign investment and international trade were badly affected. As a result, inflation increased rapidly, purchasing power of common people decreased and it became difficult for the government to manage the economy.
World Bank expressed concern
The World Bank has also expressed concern about the economic situation of Iran. In the report released in October 2025, it was said that Iran’s GDP may decline by about 1.7 percent in the year 2025. At the same time, this decline is expected to increase further to about 2.8 percent in 2026. These figures show that the crisis on the Iranian economy is not over yet.
