Donyaye Eghtesad: Oversight of online gold trading platforms has entered a new phase following a period of expanded powers for the Central Bank. With a shift in the policymaker's approach, the responsibility for supervising these businesses is set to be divided among various institutions based on the nature of their activities; specifically, oversight of online gold product sellers will be assigned to trade unions, while supervision of platforms with a commitment to deliver gold will be entrusted to the Commodity Exchange. Simultaneously, the transaction monitoring system designed by the Central Bank will be handed over to a working group composed of 10 executive agencies. These changes raise questions about the reasons for the Central Bank's entry and exit from this market, the extent of its responsibilities in the gold transaction chain, and the reasons for delegating oversight of the platforms.
