Iranian economy faces rising inflation
Iran’s economy is facing significant pressures due to the tightening of US sanctions, which targeted vital sectors such as oil, maritime shipping, aviation, technology, and digital assets. This has led to a substantial decline in the value of the Iranian rial. The exchange rate in the local market has surpassed two million rials per dollar, further fueling inflation, which has reached 66% annually. Food and beverage prices have increased by 128%. The new sanctions imposed restrictions on major sources of revenue and raised the costs of international trade, especially in the oil, technology, and gold sectors. These developments have complicated the economic situation, leading to an estimated economic contraction of 5.4% and damages around $270 billion, with an expected inflation rate of nearly 69%. Challenges are likely to worsen as currency devaluation continues and the purchasing power of citizens declines, prompting more people to seek alternative assets like gold.
