However, to quell society and deceive people, the regime&#8217;s officials announce false statistics or take wrong actions. The facts and figures below confirm this fact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Abdolnasser Hemati, the regime&#8217;s Central Bank chief, recently announced that &#8220;the country is out of economic recession.&#8221; Hemati referred to the so-called economic growth over the summer and autumn of last year, reaching 3.9 percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Yet, a week ago, the regime&#8217;s Statistic Center, while trying to hide the real figures of Iran&#8217;s devastated economy, announced that the economic growth had been less than 1 percent. The center reported that economic growth with oil export in the fall of 2020 was positive at 0.8%, and economic growth without oil export was positive at a rate of 0.2 percent. It does not reach even one percent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The International Monetary Fund had predicted in its latest report that GDP growth in 2020 compared to 2021 would decrease by 5%. The same international organization had reported that Iran&#8217;s economy has shrunk by 6.5% and 5.4% in 2018 and 2019, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At the beginning of the winter, the World Bank said that Iran&#8217;s economic growth in 2019 was negative 3.7%, and this year this figure is expected to be 1.5% positive. The World Bank&#8217;s statistics align with the International Monetary Fund&#8217;s findings, underlining that Iran&#8217;s economy under the mullahs&#8217; regime has shrunk by 16.5% in the last three years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The fact that Iranian people are grappling with poverty and the daily protests by all walks of life due to harsh economic conditions are testaments to Iran&#8217;s devastated economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One of the aspects of Iran&#8217;s destructed economy is the rising inflation rate and liquidity growth. One of the main reasons for the skyrocketing prices and inflation is the government&#8217;s economic policies, such as compensating its budget through banknotes and stimulating liquidity growth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"How the mullahs destroyed Iran&amp;#039;s economy\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_PbI6JJpaE7A\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PbI6JJpaE7A\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M44S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2019-03-06T22:21:55Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_PbI6JJpaE7A\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">How the mullahs destroyed Iran&#039;s economy<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/PbI6JJpaE7A\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPbI6JJpaE7A%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"How the mullahs destroyed Iran&amp;#039;s economy\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"40 years after Iran\u2019s 1979 revolution, the ruling mullahs have taken the country back to the Middle Ages. Iran has large natural resources and the potential to improve the lives of all Iranians. In addition, Iran owns 7% of mines of the world, the largest hydrocarbon sources (Oil and Gas) in the world, 9.3% of the world\u2019s oil and 18% of the world\u2019s gas, and Iran itself has more natural sources than the entire EU area. But Iran is ruled by a dictatorship that spends all its wealth in terrorism and suppression. The fact is that Iran is ruled by a corrupt government that has looted Iranian people\u2019s property to extend its rule. Iran under mullahs ranked 93rd in the world in health care, in welfare, Iranian people are ranked 108 out of 149 countries and the Iranian regime is on the top of the list of countries suffering from state-run money laundering and this is one of the reasons that the Iranian regime is ranked 138 in the world in corruption and also among top countries with high inflation rates Iranian workers\u2019 monthly salary is less than &#36;100 and Iran is the only country that uses all its renewable water resources and is being pushed toward an irreversible water crisis by the government. Moreover, Iran has some of the most dangerous roads in the world and is among the top countries in road fatalities. The mismanagement of Iran&#039;s economy has led to mass dissatisfaction and protests. The people of Iran believe they deserve better. In the past year, Iranian people have taken to the streets to reclaim their country and destiny.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px;\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Today, our most important problems are inflation, expansiveness, and [rising] liquidity, which have troubled people. The root of these problems lies in the budget structure. The government [should] reform the budget structure and correct the imbalance in the operational and structural budget deficit. This has been neglected in the last few years,&#8221; Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the regime&#8217;s Parliament Speaker, said on Saturday during the regime&#8217;s factional feudings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Meanwhile, the regime&#8217;s parliament has adopted the very same budget. The mullahs&#8217; regime tries to compensate its budget deficit through many actions which negatively affect Iran&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">One of these actions is printing more banknotes, which increases the liquidity and causes a subsequent higher inflation rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Seemingly, the government has no choice but to print banknotes to compensate for its budget deficit. Five hundred and seventy billion tomans are injected into the Iranian economy by the Central Bank daily. The Central Bank says that from February of last year to the end of February of this year, 107,640 billion tomans have been added to the monetary base. These numbers mean that another record in banknote printing has been set in the last year,&#8221; wrote the state-run Eghtesad-e Saramd daily on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Inflation is one of the biggest and most fundamental problems that has plagued Iran&#8217;s economy for the past 40 years. The most important structural factor of inflation in the Iranian economy is the government budget deficit. Without the Coronavirus crisis, this year&#8217;s government budget deficit was predicted to be 130,000 billion tomans. Banknote printing is offset, which increases the monetary base and liquidity and ultimately has an inflationary effect,&#8221; wrote the state-run Arman daily on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Despite Ghalibaf&#8217;s claims, Iran&#8217;s economic crisis will not end with some reforms because this economy has been devastated by the regime&#8217;s institutionalized corruption and other priorities instead of helping the people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime&#8217;s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, his Revolutionary Guards (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/inside-irans-army-of-terror-and-oppression-revolutionary-guards-irgc-part-2\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IRGC<\/a>), and their institutions control Iran&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;In our country, there are four institutions which control 60 percent of the national wealth.

The Iranian regime uses the revenue it earns from the Astan Quds, all paid out of the pockets of the Iranian people, to fuel its terrorist activities in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon\u2026 and to fund the IRGC\u2019s operations to suppress the protests of the Iranian people.

Accordingly, next year, the Revolutionary Guards budget has increased by 58% and the army by 53%. The Research and Innovation Organization of the Ministry of Defense budget, which Mohsen Fakhrizadeh previously headed, has increased by more than 500%, from 40 billion to 245 billion tomans. The Ministry of Defense\u2019s budget has also increased by 75%,&#8221; wrote the state-run Eghtesad Online news agency on December 3, 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The regime also spends billions of dollars on its domestic and foreign propaganda and terrorism machine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;The second-most-funded device is the seminary service center. This organization earns one thousand billion tomans from the budget. That is a little more than the parliament&#8217;s total budget and the whole country&#8217;s emergency organization. The Supreme Council of seminaries will also receive 651 billion tomans of budget. This amount is almost twice the Food and Drug Administration budget and more than five times the budget of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology,&#8221; wrote the state-run Tejarat news on December 6, 2020.<\/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 style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;The Al-Mustafa Al-Alamiyah Society and the Islamic Development Organization are the fourth and fifth funded institutions in this list, respectively.
