people, retired workers and pensioners of the Social Security Organization. 40% of our agricultural industry is run by landless wage workers; These people, including their families, make up 60% of the current population of the country. Probably not those who did not understand the expensive, this 60% of the population!
Unfortunately, the indicators of microeconomics, especially the men’s livelihood basket in Iran, are not better than macroeconomic indicators, and inflation, especially this year, has put severe pressure on the purchasing power of households and has actually caused problems for people. Is. In this memo, we will refer to the recent expensive and some of its roots, and the security measures that have been taken in this regard. Please be with Artan Press.
*** Poverty line in Iranian households
The livelihood basket was 4 million and 940 thousand tomans last year, and this year, with the unbridled inflation that we have, this figure will certainly be much higher. The poverty line in the society has reached 9 to 10 million Tomans. And this is while a large part of the population of Iran has incomes of less than half of this amount and in practice this has caused the elimination of the middle class from the society.
*** Determining next year’s salary assignment
Some members of parliament have announced that next year’s salaries of workers and employees will be determined by March 6; But this is not in their area of responsibility at all. Unfortunately, the members of the 11th parliament have come only to speak and are taking advantage of the weaknesses in the society and not putting practical measures on their agenda to improve the situation, which is a strong criticism of the parliament.
The workers’ union has written a letter to the parliament’s social commission requesting a meeting with a government representative to address the problems of the working community. However, the social commission did not respond to the letter of the Supreme Council of the Workers’ Union after months; But all its members talk about livelihoods; But in practice they do nothing.
*** Triple-digit inflation rate in food items
The pressure of inflation on households, especially the working class, is increasing, while with food prices rising by 300 percent, there is no longer any way to manage the living for the poor. When the head of state in office declares that no one has noticed the removal of government currency from basic goods; It is as if the wound heals the hearts of the workers and the weak strata of society.
*** The role of currency in reducing people’s purchasing power
It is clear to everyone that the sharp currency fluctuations have shattered the purchasing power of the people and brought the situation to a point where the student of the country can not think of buying a laptop or mobile phone. About 14 million people in the country are insured and officially employed workers; We have about 3.5 million people, retired workers and pensioners of the Social Security Organization. 40% of our agricultural industry is run by landless wage workers; These people, including their families, make up 60% of the current population of the country. Probably not those who did not understand the expensive, this 60% of the population!
*** Expensiveness has overshadowed all markets
The tripling of food inflation in the last ten months shows that more people have fallen below the poverty line, and in addition, the severity of poverty has increased, and this is an alarm for the country because it has spread the poverty of the society. Prepares for political and social tensions. Many households have been forced to remove essential items from their shopping carts due to declining incomes and daily rising prices.
*** Concerns about social welfare indicators
Published reports state that 40% of Iranian households are not able to buy red meat, and as a result, a very high percentage of people have access to daily and basic food, including rice, eggs, oil, dairy products, fruit, etc. Are left open. In the last seven years, Mr. Rouhani’s government has had an average of nearly 200 percent inflation. It is surprising that officials say the economy is experiencing 40 percent inflation today.
*** Packaging style trading
There are companies called chicken packers that do the slicing work, and we accept in part that when chicken is sliced, it has a different price than whole chicken with scraps and skin. The price difference created by these people is much more than what it should be, that is, a chicken weighing 1 kg and 800 grams with a price of 20,400 Tomans per kilogram costs about 36,000 Tomans, but in the market with a price above 70 to 80 Tomans. It is sold for one thousand tomans, which is a sign of high prices, and packages of 800 grams are sold for between 40 and 50 thousand tomans, and this has no legal justification.
Another point is that the base of 900 grams is not correct, because since we remember, kilogram has been the basis of weight and they have to pack in one kilogram, two kilograms or half a kilogram so that the price can be calculated easily. .
*** Expensive wave in the industrial sector
Let’s not go far and do not distance ourselves from the steel market, which is the specialized field of activity of Artan Press news site. In the steel sector, considering the Iranian raw materials and the concessions that the government gives to steel producers, prices were expected to be balanced. We created steel giants and provided them with rents called iron ore for 300,000 tomans, while the world price is one and a half million tomans per ton, but the same steel giants sell the product in the Iranian market at world prices.
*** Rising prices for protein items
Eggs, oil and milk have risen more than 10 percent in the past month. The increase of more than 50% in most food items compared to last year is an issue that the penitentiary units should be held accountable for and defend their supervisory position.
The price index table of household goods and services in January shows that food items such as oil with 10.4 percent, milk, cheese and eggs with 10.3 percent increase compared to the previous month are stagnant in the recent month. Also, according to the details of the table, except for vegetables and legumes, which experienced inflation of 45.9% compared to the same period last year, other foods in the household consumption basket have become more expensive by more than 50%. Fruits and oils have risen in price by more than 75%.
*** Depositing basic goods in customs
One of the reasons that has doubled the thirst of the markets for high prices is the issue of the deposit of basic goods such as rice in the country’s customs, which we have witnessed disputes between the customs and the central bank. A lawsuit that resulted in nothing but the second and third waves of inflation.
Many of the goods that are now claimed to have been deposited in the country’s customs, or the problems that exist in registering the order of goods, are the result of this lack of government supervision in the market, which, if resolved, will not cause any shortage in the market. Subsidies will be paid.
*** Falling exchange rates have no effect on inflation
In any case, it is necessary to follow up with government officials as to why, despite the fact that the exchange rate has been stable for some time and is still falling, there is not much change in prices and some goods have become even more expensive. However, there is no control over prices. From expensive cars to dairy products, all goods have increased in price, and the main reason is the greed of some people, who raise prices every day under various pretexts, and no one is willing to lower prices.
*** Declaration of innocence of the Central Bank
In a letter to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Abdul Nasser Hemmati is heard complaining about the attacks on the Central Bank in recent incidents related to the shortage of livestock and poultry inputs and the rise in oil, meat and poultry prices. Hemmati stated in the letter that the Central Bank has fulfilled its duties in providing foreign exchange for basic goods and inputs for livestock and poultry, and that the shortage of these goods and the high price of oil, meat, poultry and eggs have nothing to do with the Central Bank.
The central bank has done its job, but other agencies have thrown the ball to the central bank and blamed it. Hemmati also wrote in his letter that the government’s decision to liberalize the clearance of imported goods in the applicant’s currency has economic consequences for the country and that the central bank opposes it.
*** Unsuccessful rise of carmaker for expensive
The automakers thought that the exchange rate would maintain its uptrend and that they could make up for all their current problems, which are increasing their costs day by day, by raising prices under the pretext of the rising dollar. Eager to raise prices further, they beat the drums of the Competition Council for their pricing decisions.
But now that Iran’s international policies have reached a more stable environment and there is a possibility that conditions will improve and the dollar will fall further, carmakers are shocked. Automakers tended to increase the prices of their products while the market price has been declining.
*** Expensive culture in the country’s economy
The country has $ 100 billion in revenue, we have inflation and inflation, and when the country earns $ 15 billion, we still have inflation and inflation; This is a problem on the part of the management. Differences of opinion with the government and the parliament can lead to a process and cause irreparable damage. Unfortunately, there is no discipline in controlling the budget in the country, and this has caused a waste of time and energy in the country. The first priority of the officials in the current situation where political risks have decreased is the livelihood of the people so that we can see the return of a positive spirit to society and the individual and social excellence of the people.
