Iran\u2019s economy is on freefall. But why Iran\u2019s economy, with such vast resources, is declining? Is it due to the sanctions? Or the regime\u2019s institutionalized corruption? Would the regime be able or willing to address Iran\u2019s economic crisis?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGholamreza\u00a0Shafei, President of Iran\u2019s Chamber of Commerce, issued shocking warnings about Iran\u2019s economic situation,\u201d the\u00a0state-run\u00a0Setareh\u00a0Sobh\u00a0daily\u00a0reported\u00a0on September 21.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the latest update of the World Bank data in July, Iran\u2019s GDP at current prices has decreased by 57% in 2017 from $ 545 billion in 2017 to $ 191 billion in 2020. Also, Iran\u2019s global ranking in terms of GDP has fallen from the 26th place in the world economy in 2017 to the 50th place in the world economy in 2020,\u201d\u00a0Shafei\u00a0told Setareh\u00a0Sobh.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While a country\u2019s GDP indicator alone would not determine the entire economic situation of that country, but according to\u00a0Shafei, \u201cExamining the situation of the country in these indicators can, apart from the quality of production and the level of underdevelopment, depict the general situation of production.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s GDP has decreased while its liquidity is rising rapidly. The main reason for Iran\u2019s liquidity growth is the regime\u2019s banknote printing. As a result, Iran\u2019s inflation rate and prices of consumer goods are skyrocketing daily.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hassan Rouhani\u2019s government started banknote printing to compensate for its budget deficit, and this trend has continued since then.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe budget<\/a> deficit for 2021 is about 370 trillion tomans, which is almost half of the country\u2019s total budget. One of the reasons for this deficit is the 40% increase in government current expenditures due to its enlargement,\u201d wrote Arman daily on September 21.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, allocating budgets<\/a> to useless government companies that do not have a role in the productive sector, or allocating budgets to non-productive organizations and institutions that have no output or pay taxes, the unrealistic budget itself, which relies on sanctioned oil, are among the reasons that put the country in a dire situation for many years. Interestingly, no organization or institution is willing to give up its budget for the welfare of the people and help the government,\u201d Arman daily adds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s economy is largely dependent on oil exports. Due to the regime\u2019s malign activities, support of terrorism, the Iranian oil industry is sanctioned, leaving the government with a huge budget deficit. But even sanctions are lifted, and the regime could largely export oil, as it did\u00a0following\u00a0Iran\u2019s nuclear agreement with world powers in 2015, Iran\u2019s economic crises would not be resolved due to the mullahs\u2019 institutionalized corruption.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Iran\u2019s Central Bank, the\u00a0regime\u00a0earned\u00a0around\u00a0$180 billion through exports in 2018 and 2019 alone, but it is unclear where some of these earnings ended up. These earnings were not used to address people\u2019s problems, but the regime used them to fund its proxy terrorist groups.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The regime has based its 2021 budget on selling 2.3 billion barrels of oil per day. Meanwhile, last year, it was not able to sell more than 700,000 BPD, and most of that was conducted through smuggling channels and at prices that were lower than the market\u2019s price.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, Rouhani\u2019s government intended to earn approximately $60 billion from the sale of 2.3 million barrels per day. This is twice the oil sales registered in the 2020 budget. Meanwhile, there\u2019s no clear sign when international sanctions against the regime\u2019s oil industry will be lifted. The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the oil markets. Besides, Iran\u2019s damaged oil infrastructure could hardly produce this amount of oil barrels per day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arman daily adds that since the regime\u2019s \u201cforeign policy\u201d or rather its malign activities \u201chave not decreased and a large part of Iran\u2019s economy is political,\u201d sanctions will remain in their place. Thus, by banknote printing and due to the regime\u2019s corruption, the inflation rate grows, making life harder for Iranians.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In recent days, the regime officials have blatantly accused the minimum rise of salaries as the real reason for the rising inflation rate.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOfficials are constantly blaming rising wages for the increasing inflation. The\u00a010% increase in wages does not comply with the poverty line of 10 million Tomans,\u201d wrote the state-run Kar-o\u00a0Kargar\u00a0daily on September 21.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA 39% increase in salaries in 2021 will cover only 37 percent of the people\u2019s cost of living. A worker\u2019s salary of 4 million Tomans covers only ten days of the month, and after that the workers barely make ends meet until the end of the month.\u00a0They have to remove many of the basic expenses of their lives,\u201d Kar-o\u00a0Kargar\u00a0wrote, quoting Ali\u00a0Aslani, member of the board of directors of Islamic Labor Councils.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is the ratio of a 10% increase of salaries to a poverty line of 10 million Tomans? In determining the rate of the subsistence basket, we set aside a lot of expenses and calculate only the price of 33 items of essential goods. If we want to calculate the cost of the items stated in the law, the cost of the subsistence basket is much higher than what is determined in the Supreme Labor Council,\u201d\u00a0Aslani\u00a0adds.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Aslani, referring to the salary base of 2 million and 600 thousand Tomans in 2021, said: \u201ca 10% increase in salary means the addition of 260 thousand Tomans to the salary base, while prices have sometimes increased up to 60%.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHistorical low rate of workers\u2019 minimum wages relative to current costs in urban and rural areas has put enormous pressure on the people in the working class. The studies show that increasing inflation and the growing ratio of minimum wages to costs have reduced purchasing power. The ratio of the minimum annual wage of workers to the average annual cost for an urban and rural household was 35.3% and 64.2%, respectively,\u201d\u00a0Vatan-e\u00a0Emrooz\u00a0daily wrote in this regard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Vatan-e\u00a0Emrooz\u00a0acknowledges that \u201cThe state economy and its subsequent business climate, growing liquidity, and a multiplicity of rules and regulations, directly or indirectly affect workers\u2019 purchasing power. It should be noted that the engine of inflation by invisible taxation, which targets only the poor people and not deals the wealthy [officials], as usual in the last three decades, leads to public misery and the interests of a specific and selected group.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The facts mentioned above once again underline that Iran\u2019s current economic crises are created and amplified by the regime, its malign priorities, and institutionalized corruption.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
