A hardline Iranian expert from Khamenei faction commented on president Rouhani’s economic policies describing them as obsolete, the terrorist Quds force news agency Tasnim reported.
“The executive branch officials say their foreign policy activities are to improve the country’s economy. Our question is what do you have to show as your achievement following the nuclear agreement? All that has appeared since the agreement was reached in Geneva last year is that the European exports to Iran has increased 48% while Iran’s non-oil exports has declined 16% during 2015. Then how can this be interpreted as achievement? And how can we ignore the economic fallouts of this agreement,” Tasnim News agency quoted the expert as saying.
“For as long as the executive branch wouldn’t recognize the fact that it should put the economy as its priority and as long as the country continues down the failed path of the existing foreign policy, there would be no doubt that the people’s living and economic conditions would remain the same and would not improve even an iota. The unemployment would remain high as it is and inflation and recession would keep climbing” the official was quoted to say.
