  • Iran's Price Precipice
    Iran’s Price Precipice Understanding the drivers behind Iran’s skyrocketing inflation and its impact on the population. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Findings: The official inflation rate in Iran increased from 7% in March 2018 to 42.5% in February 2019. Over the same period, the USD/IRR free-market rate increased by 170%. The situation has resulted in a colossal rise in consumer prices, heavily impacting Iranians’ purchasing power. • Explanation: While the IRR’s devaluation on the free market has certainly impacted price levels, the immediate drivers behind the rapidly increasing prices are the currency peg and the government’s mismanagement of the economic crisis. • The Economist View: The Iranian state is growing more anti-free market and increasing its intervention in the economy, thus harming its future prospects. • Living in Iran: From E-Coupons to queues in meat shops, the US’s withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) has directly impacted Iranians’ livelihoods. • Poverty Rate: On the back of rising consumer prices the poverty threshold for a family of four in Tehran increased by at least $44 in 2018, bringing many Iranians under the poverty line.
