“Also, the unemployment rate this summer was 9%, marking its lowest level in the last four decades,” he said.
He pointed out that the administration succeeded in curbing inflation this year, with the point-to-point consumer inflation rate decreasing from 55% in April to 39% in November.
Khandouzi also reported an 8% growth in the industry and mining sector in the first half of the current Iranian calendar year (starting on March 21) compared to 5.2% during the same period in the previous year.
