Tehran, YJC. Ahmad Tavakoli has said that there are possibilities that the current year will bring more problems in budget compared to last.
Tavakoli said that one must leave room for the possibility
that in the current year things will be worse, because "Economic phenomena
leave tardy, gradual effect.”
As the reasons for his belief he said "The reasons is that,
regrettably, the government has maintained its proprietorial view of oil, as it
did in all the past years, liking it more the more expensive it got. But currency
is a tool for policy-making with which to maintain economic equilibrium, not to
top up the budget.”
Former Director of the Research Center of the Majlis said "The
government set the currency price at 24,500 Rls for this year. This means that
the country’s currency value is officially halved. Our national currency depreciation
started in September, but from this moment on it is halved officially.”
