Liquidity Growth in Iran Put at 40 Percent

As prices rise, unemployment rate will not fall and inflation will worsen.

Global Economy Crisis and End of Oil Party

The past three years could have been the most legendary period of the Iranian economy because we earned 200 billion dollars by selling oil and gas.

National Currency Devaluated 50% in 4 Years

I accept that liquidity has greatly grown in the past three years, but I also emphasize that the difference between liquidity and gross domestic product in our country is very high.

Iranian Scheme in Global Crisis

Dr. Seyed Ahmad Mir-Motahari, Economist

Political Interventions in Banking Decisions

The net result of these interrelated trends is reduced share of capital in balance sheet of banks, inefficiency of operational expenses as well as inadequate deposits in comparison to outstanding loans.

Big Claims, Insignificant Achievements

The economic growth rate achieved by the ninth government is both below the projected figure of the Fourth Economic Development Plan and not compatible with our growth potentials.


Yahya Alees-hagh, Head of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines

Economy Is Realistic, Not Idealistic

If the current trend continues, we will have to allocate the lion’s share of the budget to subsidies. Expenses are clear-cut, but it should also be made clear whence those expenses will be covered.
