Islamic Republic of Iran: Recent Economic Developments, (USA: International Monetary Fund, 1995) accessed November 24, 2024

Summary

This paper reviews economic developments in Iran during 1990–95. The growth rate of real GDP declined from an average of 11 percent in 1990/91–1991/92 to 2.7 percent in 1994/95. This decline was associated with developments in both the oil and non-oil sectors, such as capacity constraints in the industrial sector; adverse movement in international oil prices; reduction in oil export volumes; and quantitative import restrictions, which adversely affected industries that depended on imported inputs. The real value added in the oil sector declined by 5.6 percent in 1994/95.
