Iranian economic and internal security developments

Overview

Iranian officials are focusing on internal economic resilience and structural development amid external pressures. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf noted that following the failure of U.S. military pressure, adversaries have shifted focus toward Iran’s economic and internal security. He called for prioritizing infrastructure and livelihood support for the armed forces.

In the agricultural sector, reports indicate a 3% growth rate following a previous decline, though some debt to farmers remains outstanding. Regarding monetary stability, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Abdolnaser Hemmati, dismissed U.S. Treasury claims of an imminent economic collapse, citing a decrease in 12-month liquidity growth.

To ensure long-term growth, economic leaders are advocating for a shift from a state-led economy toward a digital economy. This includes efforts to integrate Iran into global value chains and improving the synergy between universities and industry to facilitate the export of technology-driven products.
