A Dangerous Enterprise!

Discriminatory austerity measures targeting the salaries of public servants would be a dangerous move, Hossein Haqgou, an economic analyst, wrote for the Persian daily Ta’adol. A translation of his article follows:
The salaries of employees will increase by 10% next year [March 2022-23] to control inflation and help lower the prices of essential goods, a deputy speaker of Iranian parliament [Ali Nikzad] said on Sunday. 
The head of Plan and Budget Organization [Masoud Mir-Kazemi] has also recently said that next year’s budget will be finalized without a deficit, as budget deficit is the root cause of the country’s numerous problems.
