Iran's Minister of Finance:

Tehran(IP)-Iran's Minister of Finance, in his presser, said on Tuesday that talks are going on to use the country's blocked assets in other countries.

Iran PressIran News: Ehsan Khandozi, the economic spokesman of the government and Iran's Minister of Finance and economic affairs, said in his weekly press conference: "Perhaps we can say that in the last year, the most important economic approach of the government has been to return the economy to a disciplined path with the field of Iran's financial and monetary policies so that we can manage the fluctuations of the macroeconomy."

In the last eight months, 80.5% of the public resources of this year's budget have been realized, which has increased by 56% compared to last year.

The Central Bank and the Money and Credit Council had some measures in the way of disciplinary action.

He said about the 1402 (2023) budget bill: "One feature of the budget is the transparency of the government's public resources in this bill. The second point is the budget's approach towards the growth of the share of production revenues and the sale of government shares, and we tried not to increase the budget's dependence on oil (without increasing taxes)."

Another item raised in the budget is the agreement of the Cabinet of Ministers, with an average growth of 20% in the salaries of government employees in 2023.

He also mentioned the decrease in liquidity and said: "Liquidity is decreasing, and this shows the decrease in inflation."

In the field of currency policies, Khandouzi said: "Because our small amount of exports in October and November was more than one million barrels per day, therefore, the government's foreign exchange income in the last two to three months has been better than in the past. At the same time, talks are going on to use Iran's blocked assets in other countries."
