Tehran (IP) - Iran's Finance and Economic Affairs Minister Farhad Dejpasand has said that Corona disease had damaged the country's GDP by 15 percent.

Iran PressIran News: Referring to the sanctions on the country's oil exports in a public session of the parliament, Farhad Dejpasand added: "Even if oil exports are done without sanctions and problems, we will still not have access to all incomes, so this year we must experience a non-oil budget and rely on tax revenue."

Emphasizing on avoiding borrowing from the central bank, he said: "We have a comprehensive plan not to resort the option. Borrowing from the central bank is harmful. The capital market has matured today and can meet needs."

Dejpasand noted that the country's economic growth last year was negative, including oil, and that stimulus policy should be applied to improve economic conditions. 207
