“Output in the Islamic Republic of Iran is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2022, boosted by the waning of the pandemic and higher oil prices. Growth is expected to slow subsequently, however, as unresolved structural challenges and feeble fixed investment limit the country’s growth potential,” reads part of the group’s flagship World Economic Prospects report published for June.
Forecasts for 2023 and 2024 have been put at 2.7% and 2.3% respectively.
