I hope the Iranian authorities do not take the types of your economic analysis seriously and start believing that all is going well and they do not need to change their policies to end the economic calamities facing the country. If they do, the country’s economy will be in deep trouble.Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-78166390784127202592013-02-20T21:57:26.459-05:002013-02-20T21:57:26.459-05:00Contrary to Ahmadinejad's moronic boasts, Iran...Contrary to Ahmadinejad's moronic boasts, Iran's economy has been growing at an average of 2-3% annually, as acknowledged by IMF and World Bank. The current low half a percent growth is despite the tightening sanctions and currency devaluation. For Iran to achieve a positive growth rate is an accomplishment by itself as Japan and most of EU are in negative territory, even the US despite clever accounting is barely growing and the UK is in double dip recession or never came out of one. Inflation even high is still below many predictions or South American levels. The economy is readjusting to the new sanctions and will most likely rebound by 3rd quarter as higher oil and gas prices kick-in and demand in Asia keeps increasing. The initial 'sanctions shock" is over and the removal of artificial subsidies has also helped. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
