Iran's Economy: Trouble in Tehran
22 Jun 2009 in Employment
Editor's Note: Djavad Salehi-Isfahani assesses Iran's recent economic performance in Foreign Policy magazine, arguing that the country’s policymakers have amassed a mixed record. While government spending in the past year was based on safe estimates of oil prices, high levels of social spending will be hard to maintain and the private sector will struggle to revive the Iranian economy in 2009. This was originally published under the title "Trouble in Tehran".
