Economists’ prescription for breaking Iran’s inflation cycle
TEHRAN- Iran’s inflation has become a persistent, multi-layered economic problem that cannot be solved through a single tool or a simple policy choice. Economists interviewed by IRNA argue that suppressing prices, restricting demand, or relying only on monetary instruments such as interest rates or liquidity controls will not break the inflation cycle. Inflation can only be contained when the policymaker simultaneously controls the money-creation engine, directs financial resources toward production, prevents supply-side shocks, and protects the purchasing power of vulnerable groups without generating a new inflationary wave.
