The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic further intensified economic pressures on the most vulnerable. Iran’s economic outlook hinges on the evolution of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the pace of global economic recovery, and the possibility of easing of US sanctions.

Growth-enhancing reforms such as investment in green infrastructure, digital economy, and renewable energy can help lead the economy out of the pandemic and create much needed jobs. 2021-06-14T14:32:25Z 2021-06-14T14:32:25Z 2021-05 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/178111623662609713/Iran-Economic-Monitor-The-Economy-at-a-Crossroads http://hdl.handle.net/10986/35741 English Iran Economic Monitor CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Economic Updates and Modeling Economic & Sector Work Middle East and North Africa Iran, Islamic Republic of
