Raisi clarifies measures to modify pillars of economy
President Ebrahim Raisi explained the main measures taken by his government to reform the economic structures in the Iranian Economy Conference on Monday.
The conference titled, “Iranian Economy: Modifying Structures, Resolving Shortages, and Playing a New Role in the International Arena,” was attended by economic experts and high-ranking officials, reported president.ir.
Stating that the necessity of economic transformation using scientific and technology-based methods, with the aim of implementing justice and with the participation of people and the private sector is not hidden from anyone, the president said, adding the important measures taken by 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 taste, but on experts’ opinions in order to lead to lasting and acceptable results.
The president considered justice in the field of economy and distribution of wealth as the main goal and agenda of transformation, stating, “Progress is an inevitable necessity, but it must be pursued in the light of justice. Today there are many societies, albeit industrialized, but there is no justice in them.”
He said that the important axis in the implementation of transformation is to have it be based on the people.
“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.”
