Iran Annual Inflation to Fall to 13-14%

TEHRAN Jan 26(Shana)--The Central Bank of Iran (CBI) said it expects its annual inflation to drop to between 13% and 14% for the next calendar year that starts March 21.

Top deputy governor of CBI said Iran’s inflation has already receded to levels beyond previous expectations.

“Iran’s inflation has already reached its hard core,” said Akbar Komeijani.

“It had been standing for a long time between 15% and 20% … It now requires not only disciplinary policies but also long-term structural reforms,” he added.

He also described the last month’s drop in Iran’s inflation as “a major achievement”.

“This has now enabled us to talk about the prospects to bring down inflation with a stronger confidence.”   

The CBI announced on this past Saturday that Iran’s annual inflation has reached 16.3%. It said the figure had been derived from studying price changes over a period of 10 months starting March 21, 2014.
