However, the state-run media outlets and some officials are pointing out major flaws, especially regarding the budget deficit.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Well, the 2021-22 budget bill relies on a 47 percent growth in government revenues and public expenditures upon the 2020-21 budget of $22 billion. Last December, the state-run Mashreq News website described it as \u201can imaginary budget bill\u201d because it was based on the export of one million barrels of oil per day (BPD). Notably, Tehran\u2019s oil exports were dropped to around 70,000 BPD in April, according to Kpler, which tracks the flows.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/irannewsupdate.com\/news\/economy\/irans-2021-22-budget-based-on-imagination\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>*****<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-1\" width=\"250\" height=\"83\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>*****<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more<\/strong>:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-news-in-brief-news\/iran-news-in-brief-december-12-2020\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Iran News in Brief \u2013 December 12<\/strong><strong>, 2020<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE CONTENT OF THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED WITH THE LATEST NEWS UPDATE: 9:00 AM CET Iran: Coronavirus Death Toll in 470 Cities Exceeds 183,300 The People&rsquo;s Mojahedin Organization of [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":231046,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45,182,234],"tags":[198,129,130,141,197],"class_list":{"0":"post-231042","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"category-latest-news-in-brief","9":"category-iran-news-in-brief-news","10":"tag-ncri","11":"tag-iran","12":"tag-iran-protests","13":"tag-human-rights","14":"tag-mek-iran"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
