To note, governments always want to steer liquidity growth in the right direction. If liquidity growth is channeled in the right direction, it leads to economic growth, increased employment, and lower inflation. Iran's failure to channel liquidity in the right direction has not led to economic development, moreover, it has led to higher inflation.
