Tehran: Iran's government on Saturday denied that the finance minister would be replaced, after rumours spread that the minister would step down.
Government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference that Economy and Finance Minister Davoud Daneesh-Jafari will remain in his post.
"No changes at this ministry have been discussed," Elham said.
Elham's comment came three weeks after an election brought in a parliament that is expected to be more critical of the country's economic policies.
