Raisi explains government’s measures to reform economic structures

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi explained the important measures of the government to reform the economic structures in a conference titled “Iran Economy: Reforming the Structures, Resolving the Imbalances, and Playing a New Role in the International Arena” on Monday.

Stating that the necessity of economic transformation using scientific and knowledge-based methods, with the aim of implementing justice and with the participation of people and private sector is not hidden from anyone, the president explained the important measures of the government to reform economic structures and behaviors.

Referring to the explanation of the transformation and the necessity of its realization by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in his speech at the beginning of the year, Raisi said that the effort to implement this necessity is the expectation of the people and the important responsibility of statesmen, experts, think tanks and scientific, academic and seminary circles.

Economic development should be followed based on scientific and knowledge-based methods, the president noted, adding that economic development cannot be followed based on the views of taste, but this necessity must be followed based on an expert view in order to lead to lasting and acceptable results.

The president also considered justice in the field of economy and distribution of wealth as the main goal and agenda of transformation and stated: “Progress is an inevitable necessity, but it must be pursued in the light of justice. Today there are many societies, even though they are industrialized, but there is no justice in them.”

The president mentioned that the next important axis in the implementation of transformation is its people-based nature and noted: “Wherever the people have been given a platform, there has been an area of success, and wherever the people have not been present, we have encountered problems.”
