Iran is providing more than $100 billion annually in energy subsidies to citizens, a senior official says, amid a steep rise in food prices and general uncertainty.
The head of the Planning and Budget Organization Massoud Mirkazemi told state television that the government is in the process of “reforming the subsidy system…and we are close to final decisions.” He repeated the official argument that the government wants the subsidy to go to the people instead being wasted in different ways.
Mirkazemi said that in addition to energy subsidies, the government is providing another $20 billion to keep food and medication affordable.
