The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran agreed with Pezeshkian’s proposal regarding the National Development Fund’s share.
Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, in his first television interview since taking office, emphasized the role of Iran’s leader in his selection and stated that achieving 8% growth is not possible with imbalances in the electricity and banking sectors.
In this conversation, Pezeshkian stressed that achieving 8% growth requires a $200 billion investment and mentioned the need for a $100 billion foreign investment.
The President of Iran also called for a 20% reduction in the fund’s share for the current year.
While discussions over Pezeshkian’s statements were heating up among social media users, Iranian media announced that Iran’s leader had agreed to a temporary reduction in the National Development Fund’s share from the country’s oil and gas revenue.
It is planned that 350 trillion tomans will be transferred as a loan from the National Development Fund to the government’s development budget.
