50% of Iranian people are living below poverty line.

While Iran is the fourth oil power in the world .

deputy to economic programing for president put the number of people below the poverty line as 14 to 15 millions. But the economic experts put this number as 50%.

The income of people below the poverty line is only $2 dollar.

This is while the income of Iran from oil , natural gas and tax in the last three years was 200 billion dollars.

Alireza Heidari a worker:
60% of all workers in Iran live below least living condition .

  • In fact, the belief that Iran suffers from dire economic conditions is one of four myths circulating about Iran's macroeconomic performance. Iran's economy has actually performed well in aggregate terms, with a moderate rate of growth in the last ten to fifteen years, including healthy GDP and per capita growth in investment. In the last three years, Iran's actual growth rate has averaged 5.8 percent.

  • Thanks for your comment.

    Infact Thats correct. The government officials become richer everyday but the scenario for people is otherwise. The people become more poorer and they have to do two or three jobs to maintaine their daily life. The rent has increased trmendousely and the price of commodities become very high. The inflation in Iran is 25%. The government has very good income but no one knows where the income has gone?

    Iran's economy is under the shadow of a new growing Mafia.
