The Iranian regime\u2019s parliament hastily approved the generalities of which many experts consider an \u201cunrealistic\u201d budget bill<\/a> by Ebrahim Raisi\u2019s government.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In his litany of lies on Monday in defense of his budget bill, Raisi claimed that \u201call budget indicators show positive economic growth. Including 4% economic growth, a 5% increase in production tools, a 7% growth of the industry\u2019s added value, a 17% increase in trade and 19% in non-oil exports, and a 70% growth of knowledge-based companies.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Like Don Quixote, who fought the imaginary monster and won, Raisi ranted about conquering Iran\u2019s economic crises, such as reducing the inflation by 19%, only to be called out by the handpicked MPs<\/a>! In addition, even the engineered statistics by various state institutions and officials debunk this bogus claim.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAccording to Iran\u2019s Statistic Center, the inflation rate in December reached 45%, seeing a one percent increase since November,\u201d the state-run Sharq daily wrote on January 17. On Monday, MP Naser Mousavi Largani acknowledged that due to the severe budget deficit, the inflation might surpass 60%, according to the state-run Shafaqna website on January 23. So, the inflation rate, which Raisi had ridiculously ordered to decrease in summer, continues to increase.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Raisi\u2019s budget bill for the next fiscal year beginning on March 2023, features a whopping 131% increase for the #IRGC<\/a>, from roughly $1.24 billion to about $2.89 billion. This official budget is in addition to the IRGC\u2019s \u201cunofficial\u201d income streams.https:\/\/t.co\/8BlHjFiWs0<\/a><\/p>\n — NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) January 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
