Economist Urges New Gov’t to Address Super Challenges

The new government needs to address super challenges, as the country will not be an oil exporter by the end of the next decade, says Vahid Shaqaqi-Shahri, an economist and university professor.
“The unfavorable economic governance over the past 50 years has created and accumulated challenges in the Iranian economy,” he wrote for the Persian newspaper Iran.
The economist believes that water crisis, bankruptcy of pension funds and the end of Iran's oil export era top the list of challenges.
