Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyebnia believes an 8% economic growth for the upcoming Iranian year (March 2017-18) is within reach, “if the political wrangling during presidential campaigns does not undermine national interests”.
Referring to the 7.4% economic growth reported by the Central Bank of Iran for the first half of the current Iranian year (March 20-Sept. 21, 2016), the minister said he no longer worries about adverse economic circumstances, Financial Tribune reported citing IRNA.
