Iran Press/ Iran News: Ehsan Khandozi, who was speaking at his press conference on Sunday, stated; "We have almost witnessed the situation where the United States of America has used all its economic pressure tools against Iran, so creating fear in people's minds is not proportional to the facts in the sanctions situation."
He further stressed: " Iran has planned for both scenarios of lifting and not lifting sanctions."
Raisi Administration seeks to reduce liquidity
The Iranian Minister of Finance says that the people-oriented administration will contain inflation challenges by having a non-inflation economic roadmap.
He added that the policies pursued by the current administration were going forward based on efficiency and transparency.
One of the implications of the policies was the stabilization of the country's economy at the macro level, Khandouzi said. According to him, the administration controlled liquidity and reduced it from 45.5 percent to 37.5 percent.
