Iran's inflation rate has climbed to about 14 percent in the Persian calendar month ending April 20, the Central Bank of Iran Governor Mahmoud Bahmani says.

He said inflation for the month of Farvardin rose to about 14 percent, from 12.4 percent one month earlier, IRNA reported. 

Bahmani further dismissed forecasts about an inflation boom during the current Iranian month of Ordibehesht, which began on April 21. 

Some economists say prices could soar as a result of the government removing subsidies on essentials such as food and fuel. 

The first phase of the plan began in December and eliminates USD 20 billion of subsidies on food, gasoline, electricity and natural gas. 

Gasoline prices and utility bills have soared since the start of the subsidy reform plan

Terrorist Economic Failure

by Simorgh5555 on

A staggering admission of failure and inept economic policy from the very mouthpiece of state terror boradcasting. Ahmadinejad has messed up big time with his reform plan designed to cut reliance on state subsidies but has ended up not only hurting ordinary working class Iranians but has caused inflation to spiral out of control in one month. Where in the world, other than Zimbabwe, has the world witnessed a more shameful mismanagement of the economy,

Carry on Ahmad. Tell us about how Iran is not hurt by sanctions and that you want to donate money to a public fund for people to have more children.
