RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0Latest IMF forecasts showed that Iran\u2019s economy would expand by 0.6% in 2025, up from a 0.3% forecast announced in April.<\/p>\n

The figure was lower than a regional average growth rate of 3.5%, the data showed.<\/p>\n

IMF forecast showed that the inflation rate in Iran would reach 42.4% this year, up from 32.5% reported in 2024, Press TV reported.<\/p>\n

The global lender expected that Iran\u2019s jobless rate would also increase by 1.6% year on year to reach 9.2% in 2025.<\/p>\n

Iran has reported positive economic growth rates since the second half of 2020, two years after the United States announced sweeping sanctions on the country.<\/p>\n

However, Iran\u2019s official statistics agency (SCI) reported a negative growth rate for the country\u2019s economy for the first time in four years in the quarter to June 21.<\/p>\n

SCI\u2019s data released in late September showed that Iran\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) had reached 24,270 trillion rials (over $22.26 billion on free market prices) in the June quarter, down 0.1% from the same period last year.<\/p>\n

IMF\u2019s projections on Iran are mostly based on economic data released by the SCI and the Central Bank of Iran (CBI).<\/p>\n

SCI had reported an economic growth rate of 3% for the Iranian economy in the calendar year to late March, while the CBI had put the rate at 3.1%.<\/p>\n
