Azerbaijan , Baku, June13 /Trend/
The increase in USD exchange rate by the government will intensify the growth rate of inflation up to 35 percent while pumping more dollars will not solve the demands, Fars News Agency quoted a member of the Parliament's Budget Committee Abasali Noura as saying.
"Considering the implementation of cutting the subsidies, if the government does not control the exchange rate, it is predicted to increase the inflation rate up to 35 percent," he said.
If the government does not control the exchange rate, injecting of the exchange into market will not have effect. People should invest their money in economy instead of buying gold and dollar, he added.
The inflation affects the economy and investments in specific regions like Assalouyeh gas field.
The Governor of the Iranian Central Bank and Economy Minister planned to attend the parliamentary budget committee meeting to discuss the issue of USD rate, MP noted.
