IRAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Iran's economy is marked by statist policies, an inefficient state sector, and reliance on oil, a major source of government revenues. Price controls, subsidies, and other distortions weigh down the economy, undermining the potential for private-sector-led growth. Private sector activity is typically limited to small-scale workshops, farming, some manufacturing, and services. Significant informal market activity flourishes and corruption is widespread. New fiscal and monetary constraints on Tehran, following the expansion of international sanctions in 2012 against Iran's Central Bank and oil exports, significantly reduced Iran's oil revenue, forced government spending cuts, and fueled a 60% currency depreciation. Economic growth turned negative in 2012 and 2013, for the first time in two decades. Iran continues to suffer from double-digit unemployment and underemployment. Lack of job opportunities has convinced many educated Iranian youth to seek jobs overseas, resulting in a significant "brain drain." However, the election of President Hasan RUHANI in June 2013 brought about widespread expectations of economic improvements and greater international engagement among the Iranian public, and early in Ruhani's term the country saw a strengthened national currency and a historic boost to market values at the Tehran Stock Exchange.

The European Union's top court has struck down sanctions imposed on Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company (IOEC) for its alleged links to Iran’s nuclear energy program.


“By virtue of the preliminary ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union ... EU sanctions on this engineering company [must] be lifted and this union is obligated to pay damages incurred on the company due to the sanctions,” Managing Director of IOEC Ali Taheri Motlaq noted on Sunday.


He said documents submitted to the court proved that IOEC had no activity related to Iran’s nuclear facilities.

On September 6, the court also rejected sanctions imposed against eight Iranian banks and companies allegedly linked to Iran’s nuclear program


It ruled that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the unilateral sanctions imposed by the bloc on Iranian entities.

The court, however, said the sanctions would stay in place for at least two months pending any appeal.

“The IOEC is a completely technical and engineering company, and has not had, and does not have, any connection to this type of [nuclear] activities,” Taheri Motlaq said.

The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear energy program, with the US and European Union using the claim as an excuse to impose illegal sanctions against Tehran.


Iran has categorically rejected the allegation, stressing that as a committed member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, it is entitled to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.


In addition, the IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities, but has never found any evidence showing that Tehran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted toward military objectives.
