Iran government ties coupon subsidy increase to sustainable funding
Fatemeh Mohajerani, the government spokesperson, has stated that any increase in the amount of consumer coupons (kalabarg) is contingent upon securing a sustainable source of funding. While there has been public interest in whether the amount will rise to 2 million Tomans, Mohajerani clarified that no specific figure or exact timeline has been determined yet.
In addition to discussing subsidies, Mohajerani addressed energy management, noting that reforming consumption patterns requires social awareness and cultural shifts rather than just price changes. She also emphasized the government's commitment to combating the illegal mining of cryptocurrencies to protect public resources and ensure justice.
