Iran’s Economic Woes Probed

Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture’s Research Center has recently submitted an economic overhaul plan to the government.  
Mohammad Qasemi, the head of the center, elaborated on the content of this plan and its insights into major problems that have plagued Iran’s economy for over a decade in an interview with the news outlet of ICCIMA (Otaghiranonline.ir). 
“Studies conducted by ICCIMA Research Center show inflation, unemployment and weak economic growth are the pressing issues of Iran’s economy,” he said.
“Over the past three years, half of the Iranian people could not afford to eat an average of 2,100 calories per day, i.e., the minimum necessary for subsistence. Iran sits at bottom of the list of world countries in terms of economic growth and inflation suggesting that for a decade the country registered growth of nearly 0.3% and inflation rate of above 20%.”
