\"Iran-economy\"<\/p>\n

After decades of the mullahs\u2019 institutionalized corruption, Iran\u2019s economy is experiencing its worst situation. While\u00a0All\u00a0economic indicators underline that the regime has no solutions for Iran\u2019s economic crises, the regime\u2019s new president Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> bogusly claims he will resolve economic issues.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are daily protests by workers who are unable to make their ends meet. While referring to these protests,\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily on Saturday wrote: \u201cThe retirement funds are on the verge of collapse, with trillions of\u00a0dollars worth\u00a0of uncleared debts.\u00a0 Due to the emptiness of the treasury, the country\u2019s welfare organization cannot provide adequate services to its target population.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe result of these problems are long queues of people, in offices of the Imam Khomeini\u2019s Relief Committee, waiting to become beneficiaries of this institutions,\u201d\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily adds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEstimates show that on average between 2001 to 2019, about 33% of the country\u2019s population moved below the multidimensional poverty line and the poverty line has increased from 950 thousand tomans in 2011 to 10 million tomans in 2020,\u201d\u00a0Eteamd\u00a0daily wrote, quoting a report by Khomeini Relief Committee.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeclining economic growth, rising inflation<\/a> along with a significant decline in per capita income have led to rising poverty rates in recent years. Today, poverty has a broader meaning than material poverty, including lack of access to safe water, nutrition, health services, education, clothing and shelter, social insurance, and employment. Poverty can be defined in at least four dimensions: lack of economic, cultural, and social capital,\u201d\u00a0Etemad\u00a0daily acknowledges.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
