The president added, "I also call on the government officials to follow these meetings in various economic areas”.
Rouhani said, "During the entire five-year activities of the government, I have had two business meetings with officials, managers and economic advisers weekly, and no decision has been made in this government without consulting the experts.”
Pointing out that we should strengthen hope in society and social capital more and more, Iranian president added, "We are not in critical situations, but the situation is not normal, and in making decisions and announcing positions and views, these conditions should be taken into account.”
“Along with expressing the right concerns, solutions and operational suggestions should be presented to address these concerns,” he continued.
Rouhani said, “The government has many plans to tackle the psychological and economic wars of enemies and solve the problems, but the economy of the country is suffering from chronic diseases.”
Referring to the government's achievements in reducing inflation, creating economic growth and dismantling unauthorised credit institutions, Iranian president said, “During the 11th government's term of office, the reason for the decline of inflation was the financial discipline of the government, and despite the hardships and under no circumstances, we created money or borrow from the central bank.”
