8 For our purpose here we cannot use the IMF data, because the IMF series goes back only to 1948 and does not provide enough observations. The difference between IMF and Bank Markazi data, aside from some slight definitional differences, is due to Bank Markazi's data pertaining to the Iranian year and IMF data pertaining to the Gregorian year (more precisely, from December 21 of one year to December 20 of the next). It should be noted that IMF data are based on Bank Markazi's data, and the two series are closely correlated.
