Rouhani Espouses Inclusive Growth

President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday outlined his administration’s vision of promoting economic prosperity in the next Iranian year (starting March 21), as well as goals set for the country in the face of economic and social challenges. 
Rouhani, who was briefing reporters after the last Cabinet meeting of the current year, said the coming year “would be a year of investment, growth, economic development and social justice”. 
“For all these goals, we have plans and I will keep the public posted,” hewas quoted as saying by the Presidential Office’s website. 
The president noted that good measures have been implemented in the past four years for the realization of social justice, including the fact that employees’ salaries have always stayed above inflation. 
“However, more serious efforts are required to achieve the desirable point emphasized by the Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei,” he said.
