Speaking to reporters, Tayyebnia referred to the visits to Tehran by the officials from different countries following Iran deal, saying Iran will never witness the same restrictions it faced in the past.

Iran’s inflation rate used to stand at 40% when the government of President Hassan Rouhani came to power in 2013 and therefore fighting inflation has topped agenda of the government ever since, IRNA cited Tayyebnia as saying.

It was a significant achievement by the government to reach single-digit inflation rate, the minister added.

He also hailed government’s achievement in reaching a 7.4 economic growth, saying it translates into coming out of recession.
