The institutions, however, both those assigned to other banks and those that got the Central Bank\u2019s permit, grew rapidly during Guardsman Ahmadinejad\u2019s presidency, and could make huge profits thanks to high oil revenues and inflation rate. But following an oil embargo which led to oil revenues being halved, the credit institution refused to fulfill their commitments and declared bankruptcy one after another, so that they now not only pay no interest on investments, but refuse to pay back investors\u2019 initial deposits as well. Meanwhile, the protesters are holding placards in hands which read \u201cwe trusted the Central Bank\u2019s permit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regime\u2019s Central Bank, however, claims it\u2019s been able to organize and manage a significant number of such institutions. The reality, however, is something else. There are 7,000 such institutions that, backed by the Revolutionary Guards and Khamenei\u2019s office, have been largely involved in plundering the assets of the Iranian people for at least the past ten years, and as it can be seen, they are entering into crisis one after the other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last year, such institutions like Padideh Shandiz, Mizan, and Samen-al-Hojaj went bankrupt. This year, it\u2019s Caspian\u2019s turn, and while Caspian\u2019s crisis is still not over, Arman and Delfan credit institutions are also faced with widespread protests of their investors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Actually, due to non-transparent, predatory monetary and financial policies of the government and the Central Bank, such economic parasites are sucking people\u2019s blood and then file for bankruptcy when there\u2019s no more blood left, thus leaving people stranded.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Economic experts believe that such destructive economic policies have triggered a domino effect of bankruptcies in the money market, leading to billions of tomans of people\u2019s assets being lost. (State-run Jamnews website, May 20, 2017)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The result of such plundering will definitely be increased poverty across society. Reducing poverty yet increasing social welfare is the ultimate goal of all governments and human societies. But when this is reversed, it means nothing but deteriorating people&#8217;s economic and living conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a report published on 24 May 2017, the state-run Eghtesad-Online website has quoted the regime\u2019s official figures as saying \u201c11 percent of Iran\u2019s population is below the absolute poverty line.\u201d 11 percent of Iran\u2019s 80 million population accounts for nearly nine million. Moreover, another 30 percent, nearly 24 million, are below the relative poverty line. These, however, are official figures which are much less than the real ones. The report incidentally acknowledges that the rate of people going below the poverty line has significantly increased over the past ten years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a report on the Gini coefficient published on 24 May 2017, state-run Afkar-news has written that the rich earned 177 times more than the poor during 2002-3. Meanwhile, as Mullah Raisi pointed out during presidential election show debates, Iran\u2019s Gini coefficient ranking has moved up seven notches in recent years, another indicator showing that the number of poor in the country is on the rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While countries across the world turn to such programs as subsidies, pension funds, co-operatives, and social security so as to reduce inequality and increase social welfare, in Iran under the Mullahs\u2019 regime, however, systematic theft and corruption on one hand, and spending tens of billions of dollars each year for killing Syrian people and supporting Assad\u2019s dictatorship, Houthis, and Shiite militias in Iraq and Lebanon on the other, has imposed poverty on Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are still other issues affecting poverty. A significant part of Iran\u2019s economy is beyond being monitored by the government, entities like Khamenei\u2019s office, Revolutionary Guards, and Astan-Quds that have billions of dollars of turnover yet are exempt from paying taxes or responding to any organization. They illegally import 25-30 billion dollars\u2019 worth of contraband, thus phasing out manufacturing and tradespeople.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a report released on May 22, it\u2019s been pointed out that nearly 10,000 checks are returned each day, meaning that due to a deep recession, tradespeople can\u2019t pay their debts. The latest returned checks figures released by the Central Bank are related to last year\u2019s fourth quarter, during which there were eight million returned checks with a total value of 30 thousand billion tomans, showing a 200 percent increase in value and a 60 percent increase in number compared to the previous period. (State-run Rokna website, May 22, 2017)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like they say, when job goes out one door, poverty comes in from another. One of the areas most hit by the country\u2019s deep economic recession is the housing sector, according to the state-run Young Journalists Club. With minus 17 percent growth in the first nine months of last year (2016), some investors in the housing sector have gone bankrupt beyond revival. Rokna\u2019s report points, for instance, to 43 thousand billion tomans dedicated to the housing sector, saying that the recession in the sector is so deep it can\u2019t be resolved with such facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI &ndash;&nbsp;Last week&rsquo;s widespread, nationwide protest rallies held by the Caspian Credit Institution in a number of
