As international trade avenues remain constricted and internal financial challenges mount due to mismanagement and corruption, the Iranian regime&#8217;s strategy seems to pivot towards bolstering revenues through heightened oppression and coercion of the Iranian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Recent disclosures from Iran\u2019s new year budgetary legislation highlight a remarkable surge in revenues sourced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/taxation-and-tax-evasion-turns-into-battleground-between-state-and-irans-population\/\">from taxation<\/a>, traffic or hijab-related fines, and government bond issuances in the current fiscal year under Ebrahim Raisi&#8217;s administration. The Raisi government has bolstered tax revenues by 56%, income from fines and penalties by 111%, and earnings from government bond issuances by 87%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This surge in revenue streams, amounting to approximately 1,600 trillion tomans, or 62% of the total general government budget, underscores the Raisi government&#8217;s heavy reliance on coercive measures to bridge the fiscal deficit. Notably, this aggressive push for revenue generation comes amidst a 3.5%<a href=\"https:\/\/www.entekhab.ir\/fa\/news\/770407\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> decline in projected revenues<\/a> from oil and gas exports, both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Draft?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Draft<\/a> Budget for Next Year Signals Increased Pressure on the Population<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ejzLRLmekg\">https:\/\/t.co\/ejzLRLmekg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1733125527467364759?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With dwindling oil export revenues, the clerical regime has shifted the burden of government expenditures onto citizens, exacerbating the country&#8217;s already soaring public debt. The government&#8217;s debt to the banking system, including state-owned enterprises, has surged by over 55%, reaching a staggering 1,310 trillion tomans, since the previous fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government&#8217;s reliance on <a href=\"https:\/\/iranfocus.com\/economy\/49968-ebrahim-raisis-claim-about-resolving-irans-9-6-billion-budget-deficit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">domestic borrowing<\/a> has doubled since the inception of Ebrahim Raisi&#8217;s administration. However, this domestic borrowing represents only 20% of the government&#8217;s total debt, with the majority attributed to loans from the National Development Fund, surpassing $100 billion, equivalent to 2.5 years of the government&#8217;s general budget.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the substantial increase in tax revenues and projected fines and borrowing outlined in this year&#8217;s budget, the Chairman of the Parliament&#8217;s Planning and Budget Commission recently forecasted a deficit of 300 trillion tomans for the current fiscal year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Furthermore, the Raisi government faces a dilemma: whether to finance this deficit through further bank borrowing or by issuing more government bonds, both of which carry their own set of adverse consequences.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> News in Brief<br \/>The clerical regime\u2019s Parliament Research Center has proposed a bill on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/hijab?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#hijab<\/a>, which allows the morality police patrols to enforce financial penalties on those they perceive as violating the dress code.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qIAITfXbax\">https:\/\/t.co\/qIAITfXbax<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/woT8JaTLMS\">pic.twitter.com\/woT8JaTLMS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1684189324437233664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Iranian regime&#8217;s previous deficits have already necessitated extensive borrowing from domestic banks, reflecting a worrying trend of financial instability. This trend has been exacerbated by the regime&#8217;s efforts to obscure its negative trade balance by underreporting imports in customs statistics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In light of these developments, it becomes apparent that Iran&#8217;s fiscal woes are not just a consequence of economic mismanagement but rather a deliberate strategy of leveraging increased oppression and financial coercion to sustain the regime&#8217;s grip on power. As the regime continues to grapple with its budgetary crisis, the burden falls disproportionately on the shoulders of ordinary Iranians, further exacerbating society\u2019s restiveness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two-minute read Iran&rsquo;s fiscal landscape reveals a stark reality: a government grappling with a substantial revenue shortfall, leading to a dire need for budgetary adjustments.
