| description |
Following the partial lifting of
nuclear-related sanctions in November 2013 under the interim
Joint Plan of Action (JPOA), Iran's economy rebounded
in 20141 and is estimated to have expanded by 0.5 percent in
2015. A less accommodative monetary policy stance reduced
inflationary pressures, with the Consumer Price Index
falling to 8.9 percent in February 2016, from a peak of 45.1
percent in June 2013. Notwithstanding this positive
development,the pace of job creation has remained weak and
the unemployment rate rose to 11.7 percent in 2015, up from
10.6 percent in 2014. The fiscal balance of the central
government also deteriorated, mostly due to low oil prices,
from a deficit of 1.2 percent of GDP in 2014 to a deficit of
2.7 percent of GDP in 2015. Similarly, the current account
surplus is estimated to have shrank from 3.8 percent of GDP
in 2014 to 0.6 percent of GDP in 2015 due to falling oil receipts. |
