TEHRAN, Iran, April. 2
Trend:
The devaluation of Iran's national currency (rial) by some 57 percent has inflicted serious damage to Iranian economy, said Head of Iran Export Confederation Mohammad Lahouti, Trend reports via ILNA.
“The 2021 can be seen as a relatively different year than the previous one, because the coronavirus pandemic is somewhat controlled, and there is hope that soon the vaccination will cover the entire country," he said.
Referring to the promises made by government, Lahouti said that the majority of the 'priority group' will be vaccinated by early autumn.
“It should be noted that the coronavirus outbreak imposed a lot of problems,” he said.
He also reminded that the current Iranian year (started on March 21) is the year of the presidential election in Iran.
“Due to the change in administration, part of the executive policies will change,” he said. The next government will come to power with more motivation."
Lahouti added that there are also rumors that the US will return to JCPOA.
"The lifting of sanctions and the release of the country's foreign exchange resources are likely, if the US returns to JCPOA," he said.
