BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 4. Iran has launched
a 15-point comprehensive government support program aimed at
ensuring food security, improving living conditions, and
strengthening economic stability amid ongoing pressure, Trend reports, citing the
Iranian presidential administration.
A videoconference dedicated to the program was held today with
the participation of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Secretary
of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani, cabinet of
ministers, representatives of relevant agencies, and provincial
governors.
During the first phase of the implementation, 80 million Iranian
citizens will receive cash payments over a four-month period for
the sale of goods worth 10 million rials, or approximately $13.
Speaking at the meeting, President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed
the importance of close oversight of the program’s implementation
and underlined the need to promptly address any potential problems.
He announced that a special working committee, headed by the
Central Bank of Iran, will be set up to continuously monitor the
execution of the program.
The president noted that the government’s task is not only to
maintain cash subsidies for the population, but also to ensure
their direct and targeted delivery.
In the coming months, the government’s economic priorities under
the program will focus on ensuring market stability, strengthening
domestic production, increasing citizens’ purchasing power, and
exercising strict control over food supplies.
