earlier in December, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said it expects Iran’s economic growth to reach as high as 6.6 percent for the Persian calendar year that started in March 2016.

The IMF announced in a statement that higher oil production and exports would be particularly instrumental in boosting Iran’s economic growth that was in recession last year.

"Higher oil production and exports, after implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) should allow real GDP growth to rebound to 6.6 percent in 2016/17,” the Fund added in its statement.

"Growth is projected to ease to 3.5 percent in 2017/18 as oil production normalizes and non-oil sector growth remains modest.”
