We urge the IMF to coordinate with other international organizations such as WHO and the World Bank to formulate an international response that is targeted, direct, and inclusive. We are particularly concerned about large disparities in the provision of services in less privileged parts of the country, which can benefit from expertise by WHO and the World Bank.
We request the IMF and the international community to urge the government of Iran to allow for free entry of medical supplies to Iran and stop rejecting assistance from well-established NGOs such as Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).
We request the IMF to urge the Iranian authorities to adopt the best international practices on transparency and accounting of the Central Bank and financial system, including FATF recommendations, in order to facilitate normal commercial transactions with the rest of the world and unlock the potential of Iranian people as citizens of a large, dynamic, and emerging economy.
We urge the IMF to consider engaging with Iran through a future program in proper time and with prudent policies that are rooted in addressing corruption, money-laundering concerns, the health of the financial system, and with policies that promote equity and empowerment of highly educated female labor force. Adopting best practices in FATF by the Iranian government should be the first step in such a journey to ensure debt incurred by the citizens of Iran under such loans is used for their interests and in full transparency and accountability.
We, along with many Iranian citizens, eagerly look forward to a day where a future collaboration with the IMF in the context of prudent and well-targeted policies can lead to a brighter future for all Iranian citizens.

Sincerely
