EghtesadOnline: Corruption is the first challenge threatening Iran’s economy, prominent Iranian economist, Saeed Laylaz, has said in a write-up published by Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture’s news portal. “Although economists have repeatedly warned about this issue, I believe corruption in this country has snowballed out of control, leaving no way out. The fight against corruption should be set high on the agenda of the incoming government,” he added.
