Iran’s inflation rate is among the world’s highest and has soared by nearly 60 percent since 2018.
And while its new government says improving the economy is a priority, many people are still struggling.
Al Jazeera’s @Resul Serdar reports from Tehran, Iran.

#AlJazeeraEnglish #Iran #Economy
extremely rich country with oil and gas , a fairly educated population and yet the country is crumbling , millions of Iranian refugees in every and each European country ….when are they going to finally decide to topple this regime of theirs and become a normal country and end this nightmare they are living in …..
Moronic comment. The issue is because of illegal sanctions. Or else iran would be fine
Iran is not crumbling at all. According to the IMF Iran’s GDP just surpassed Turkey and Saudi Arabia to become the 18th largest in the world
@Shawn A. OK well then why don’t they stay home , I am sick and tired of seeing Iranian refugees in every corner of this world I look into ….stay home and enjoy your booming economy made of your imaginary fake numbers ….
Biden ruined the economy!!!! He belongs to garbage!!!!
This channel is full of lies and untruths. It is not at all credible.
A poor man who lives honestly is worth more
than a rich man who distors his ways.
I’d rather be rich.
No rich man worth more
Same here in Nigeria
Inflation is everywhere in the world. Everywhere … in all countries it is the same with inflation and the situation with the Corona has been present everywhere in the world for 3 years.
Usa criminal sanctions are rhe cause.
Allah gave them perfect economic system.
How could there be inflation .
Inflation is the evil of non islamic countries.
Is that same country who made fun of Trump nd USA 😂😂
wasn’t related , USA and trump are still funny
Please keep this in mind, no matter how good the economy gets, dwarfs still have a hard time putting food on the table.
Why is it that retards always say the problem is with dwarves?
Useless government
Iran need to Increase their Min.wage to aleast $200/mo. >> $250/mo…
Indians stand with the strong and brave Iranians. The richest country not just in natural resources but in history, courage and integrity in the entire Middle East and Central Asia.
I hope to see the resolution of Indian import of Iranian oil, LNG, minerals, fertilizers, steel and food items.
Stay strong Iran 🇮🇳 🤝 🇮🇷
Only the government is rich, the people are poor
@amin a Poor because of American sanctions.
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
The clickbait picture though
❤🇮🇷🇷🇺❤🇨🇳❤🇮🇶❤🇸🇾❤🇵🇸❤🇦🇫❤🇱🇧❤
هل تقارن بين العرب القطريين و 800 ألف أميركي وبين إيران المعادية لأمريكا التي يبلغ عدد سكانها 80 مليون نسمة؟ تقاوم إيران الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل منذ 40 عامًا وتخضع لعقوبات اقتصادية. # انت لست عربيا
How about qatar inflation??
6%
Stop trying to have nukes and you’ll be fine Iran
As long as they spend billions on nuclear weapons they will never complete, Iran will continue to be a failure.
Dead to America
They been under sanctions for the past four decades now, so what is the problem Aljazeera news?
The reason is islam
When I was making my thesis about Central Banks, I discovered that the Persians were the second civilisation to create “banks” for handle deposits, wealth and government Budgets (Mesopotamia were the first), that allowed the unbeatable wealth of the Persian empire during thousands years… its sad that now a country like Iran is administrated by this stupid incels that prefer to waste the money in “Islamic revolution” than making Iran the most developed country in the region.
Thats why you can never trust in radical people…. they don’t dare to question their ideology and their leaders, they are capable to destroy everything for the pleasure of being a “good warrior”. Ideology is a destructive drug.
Now the Zionist bank want to take over Iran like the rest of the world.
Thats why we see this situation.
What are you talking about ? Dude Iran and all other countries under sanctions just don’t deserve it. Usa ist the pure evil by puting millions of people in such situation. Before that much sanctions Iran was good, people could afford their clothing food etc. and even get very successful in life, but no USA comes in with all those sanctions and put the people in such bad situation and takes them their whole life away. doesn’t matter who is governing
@M. Karbaschi would you say the same for russia or china!? Or they’re not in the same league!
@Masoud Kh What the heck are you talking about Russian and Chinese banks are already under Zionists.
@M. Karbaschi that’s the whole point! What makes you different than the others I’m pretty sure both china and russia are more concerned about their National securities than you guys!
Stop blaming on jews and get a life
They have been living like that for many years , it’s normal for them.
Life goes on
But they can afford an impressive nuke program. Cut the bullshit and take care of your people.
Actually nothing has got more expensive in Iran as such and in fact during Joe Biden and specially in the last few weeks the economic situation in Iran has improved very well and then this news by Aljazeera claiming inflation is increasing is weird. At least in the last few weeks it is the best it has ever been and if you want to make a report, you had to say “inflation is starting to decrease in Iran” as it is what real economists are observing now. Again no wonder as Joe Biden, behind the scenes, is giving Iran some leverage and everyone in Iran can feel it, which is good… So I don’t know what this news is exactly based on… really don’t understand it at all…
The Islamic dictators destroyed Iran and Turkey
الله ما صلى على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله واصحابه اجمعين عليهم افضل الصلاه وزكا السلام استغفر الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم انا لله وانا اليه راجعون صدق الله العظيم استغفر الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم وتوب اليه
بسم الله توكلت على الله ولا حول ولا قوه الا بالله العلي العظيم
I feel sorry for Iranians. Still, the Iran regime thinks it can destroy Israel. Iran financed terrorists in Bahrain. Iran wanted to make a revolution in Bahrain.
We REJECTED ISLAMISM! God bless the Kingdom of Bahrain.
King of Bahrain does a good job. We are not Iran.
Love for my Iranian brothers stay strong We support you all whole heartedly
🇮🇳❤️🇮🇷
@Quantum 1157 You don’t have to be mean to a random Indian dude sending positive vibes just because policies between countries don’t align. That attitude will not solve your problems. May be take it easy and say Thank you in response next time? You might feel better.
@Jibin I have seen enough Indians playing double-game in YouTube comments! So no thank you. Iran is a much stronger country in terms of cohesion than india any day so I also don’t need to hear your patronising attitude because you might be one of those arrogant Indians who thinks india does no wrong and is superior to its neighbours and the region!
@Quantum 1157 good luck judging and speaking for some 1.4 billion people in the world under the tag “Indian”
@Quantum 1157 iran is a stronger country good joke our exports are bigger than your economy.
@Dibyarup Roy 0028 and still millions of Indians want to runaway from india and live in dubai, Doha, U.K., USA, Australia, Kenya, ….anywhere in the world is better than India! Amd 90% of these Indians never want to go back to india! What a joke! Talk all day about being strong country but it’s people want to runaway from india!

When religious hardliners rules you and they are more concerned that women heads are covered or not..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here’s a suggestion for Iranian supreme leader, just leave nuclear weapons and let yr fellow countrymen live a good life. U also know there is no god.
USA must lift sanction . For peoples of Iran
If iran suffered from saction, They wouldn’t have missiles, drones, nuclear. Iran still operated f 14. Do you know how? US lied to you. Sanction just a joke. US helped iran to operate f 14 against saddam. Saddam never helped by US.
That’s what they get for being rude towards the USA
Sanctions are cruel and only cause suffering for the people
😭😭
The sanction is just for suffering people💔
Cyruse the great dont you wanna wake up and see your land??😢
Yet another excellent governed Middle East country. Those lucky citizens are not extremely thankful they have such fine leaders. Perhaps spending more money on the military and nuclear weapons development is the smart course of action. Given their extreme hate of America I strongly suggest they completely cut all contacts with us. The very best of luck to you.
Do you know why they extremely hate America? IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE LITERALLY SANCTIONING THEM TO DEATH AND PURPOSEFULLY KILLING THEIR ECONOMY AND STARVING THEIR PEOPLE! People like you are just as evil as your government. Their leaders have the audacity to maintain Iran’s independence and not bend to every whim and will of your despicable nation, and so your government punishes them for their audacity.
لبیک یا صاحب الزمان لبیک یا بقیه الله
The Iranians have had to endure decades of sanctions and yet the market is full of people and I don’t see any emaciated faces. What do they need nuclear bombs for anyway. If they would stop antagonizing the world the world would leave them in peace to grow their economy and take care of their people. But alas, governments don’t prioritize their people first.
If they didn’t have nuclear power or missiles they would have ended up like Iraq or Libya or Afghanistan. The situation in Iran may be difficult but it’s very secure and safe. Safer than many US cities. The subways in Iran are cleaner and nicer than ones in New York and Chicago. No tent cIties like in America.
They need them to maintain sovereignty against America and Israel, so they don’t become like their neighbour’s to the West and East
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Iran, they deserve so much better than this.
Hurting countries with sanctions in this manner is one of the reasons I’ve slowly grown to see the US gov as ultimate evil.
Inflation is increasing all over the world, especially in the middle east region. Iran’s economy is growing however with inflation set to gradually decrease in the next few years.
Yes…US is evil indeed.!!
Nobody cares who ou see or how you see them.
Look at cuba, education and healtcare still free despite US sanction. US sanction effect little. Iran just full of corrupt politician who prioritize weapons rather than their own people.
So it has nothing to do with the fact that you have an oppressive regime that spends all your money on weapons?
Bomb Saudi Arabia and Turkey and blame Iran
Change the supreme leader. Oh wait. They can’t. Never mind.
A Canadian wrote and published a book .
The next civil war in America is the title of the book . Check it out . We all wait for the war coming .
It is the frigging US sanctions causing this suffering
And why do you have sanctions? Any guess?
@Anthony Morris yes the US feels it’s values should be non relativistic for humanity cuz its given by the only true God n supreme so the world must view law n order, morality, life in general thru it’s rose colored lenses. To follow n obey willingly. Freedom n human right is an American virtue n invention that is to be given to the whole world. So better become Americanized in ur view of reality or else Sanctions. America is the sole holier than thou nation the ruler n keeper of the truth the good n the right every other foreign belief morality or politics that is non western is evil. That’s just my opinion. America think it can do no wrong. After America brought Hitler’s scientists to America n develop the Atom bomb n became strong God forbid that other aspiring nations should get the bomb too bcuz they evil they terrorize the world bcuz the have different views n beliefs that are not western
I’m sure the crippling and cruel sanctions have absolutely nothing to do with it…
This is the theme of the last 30 years of iranians lives . It has nothing to do with covid .
Nope you’re wrong it’s because of covid and American sanctions
@Threezi 60% sanctions _ 35% mismanagment _ 5% covid
guess what it’s even worse here in Australia
Than Iran? Doubt it.
As an Indian who has had some absolutely lovely Parsi friends …
My heart beats for Iranis! They are wonderful people who deserve much better.
😥🙏🙏
They are not the same as parsis. Parsis are the original persians.
@Dank Seid Parsis and Iranians are genetically the same. Just because most Persians converted to Islam doesn’t mean they magically changed ancestors.
Parsis are Iranians. I do have Iranian friends and many of them follow parsi traditions as well. Iran is a lot different when compared to other Arab countries.
@wiggly t Iran isn’t an Arab country
@Dank Seid //
You need to get some education.
The name Persian is English , change the E to A and that is who we are” parsi’an.”
Wooww so sad we have 10 to 12% in Pakistan and we moan about it I can’t imagine over 40% 😬😳 Love and support for you in hard times we are looking to export rice in exchange for crude oil soon 🇮🇷 🤝🇵🇰 👍(ditching dollar)
lol pakistan is a different case
We are going to send pakistan in same place soon 😂😂.
Blacklist is waiting for pakistan 👍.
🖕🇺🇸
The Iranians are resilient people and they will also survive this and when they do they are going to come out from this mess upgraded.!!
We bear sanctions but we stay srong. Recently Pompeo called us terrorist nation, they assasinated our general in Iraq and now disguise themselves as victoms. We love every nation who loves us. We pay for our independence and power. Iran is a country of 8000 years.
Your country was born in 1979. Get rid of your tyrannical regime.
People dont have bread to eat but they will have uranium soon.Good for them them .Such an another middle east misery .
the thing is that salaries also rise, but not right after the increase in prices. for example, my own salary in Iran has tripled over the past two years.
Give credit
All thanks to Islamic republic
Sanctions always are designed to torture the people so they go and change the government to something that bows to the US.
Iran is right America is the great Satan!
Have anyone noticed how that president told it’s the concern of the people and they are demanding it as if he doesn’t have effect from rising inflation 🤔 Iranians have become so Much slave to the system
Materials for nuke is cheap
Just try eating nuclear ⛽
Everything happen for big shameless terrorism in the world US and Israel
US UN 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Israeli US UN 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕😡
Ask the jews for some food if Allah won’t provide for you.
Nice one!
Maybe sanctioning an already devastated country isn’t the best idea
They could easily capitulate, not build atomic bombs and join the world community.
Economic terrorism of United States response.But salute to Iranian leadership and people who never bowed to US aggression.
Lol. Iran tricked you. They never wanted to have conflict with US. US sanction just a joke. US sanctioned iran sinced iran iraq war. Yet US sell arms to iran to fight saddam then ordered iran to send to contra. It’s knows as iran contra affair. US never support saddam. They pormised to give saddam WMD but it neber happened. And US accused saddam for possesed WMD which is given by US. When US came to iran ,they didn’t found WMD. This shows that US never supported iraq during the war against iran. Iran still can operated f 14 with the help of america.
@antonius samuelson stop your illogical analysis …US never supported Iran after 1979 revolution … Even barbed wire were not sold to Iran.
Saddam was supported by US,west and USSR against Iran.
You are poisoned by Western media
US is disaster for world
Not the free world. Just a disaster for tyrannical nations.
I like how tjeir dress looks classy despite years of economic crisis.
Here in my india even millionaires(upper middle class) are roaming in the street in sub standard l clothes😂😂
Never believe this story. With the world standard, we are still counted as rich people; Those who think we’ll kneel down to the west’s arrogance, they must feel stupid soon, less than five years.
Nobody is asking you to “kneel down”. We don’t want you building nuclear bombs. How about your government spend more money on the citizens than they spend on weapons.
@Anthony Morris Man, you’re another racist with a background culture of slavery, nudity, homosexuality, exploitation, mental disorders. Who has given you the jurisdiction to decide about this? You and the West are the last one talking about possible WARS. You and your nation are lords of war. So, be quite and think about your own citizens.
@Anthony Morris no offence! but shut up.
Nuclear bombs must be abandoned ..
Rather Tehran must pay attention on the condition of beautiful Iranians..
They need to remove the terrorist government
It’s the same in the whole world. 🖤
Iranian are loving and strong people love from Pakistan to all brothers there in.🙏❤️
We love Pakistan too, great people who have suffered like we have .
@Drunk bee سپاسگزام 🌷 برادر من 😊🙏
Inflation is everywhere!
Come to Sri Lanka, I’m sure you will be happy about your country.😁
Iran’s struggle . Too funny ! No pity .
What comes around , goes around !
Every country on Earth is seeing unusual inflation. It’s just a matter of degree.
Same everywhere, especially in Turkey
EVERYWHERE , YES .
Inflation is currently in all countries of the world. There is no exception, all countries in the world are in inflation. For the third year in a row under the Crown ..the situation with INFLATION is the same everywhere. There is no need to misinform that only Iran is affected by inflation. Iran is holding on EXTRA WELL, IT IS A GREAT WORLD CIVILIZATION AND A GREAT COURAGEOUS PEOPLE WITH GREAT HISTORY.
America at war with the people of iran.
Lies. The problem is with your tyrannical regime. Iranian citizens are welcomed when the emigrate to West.
The revolution was the worse solution.
I feel for Iranian women and children 💙🙏🏾
Yeah but you money to invest in nukes…
And other Islamist organisations in the Balkans….Middle East …
Invest in arms to Syria , Yemen, Palestine,, Iraq ..
….all this is money from ordinary Iranians ….
That dictator is bleeding you dry
Well said.
Inflation is everywhere.. the inflation is worse in USA but.. all the media will always find problems in iran and north korea. Thats a habit
Its not inflation but the harsh economic sanctions imposed by america, and all its allies. Many of them were coerced and bullied by the usa to comply. This was after the usa broke the nuclear treaty. You cannot blame the Iranians for this at all.
*”You cannot blame the Iranians for this at all.”* Economic sanctions were applied for a reason.
American economic terrorism
VICE VERSA AUTHORITARIAN TOTALITARIAN DICTATORSHIP COUNTRY👉 🇮🇷
Lol
its the same all over the world. here in sweden the price of gas, food ect has gone up significantly. its very expensive now compared to before covid 19
Beautiful country
Hopefully Tourism will boost this country
Sure, because people love visiting totalitarian nations.
@Anthony Morris 😂 i know right.
We are paying the price for our independence.
They can put the worst sanctions in the history of man on our nation.
They can do whatever they want individually or collectively but we will endure and prevail.
In time we will have our day of reckoning with our enemies and days of glory with our friends .
We survived chengiz khan , we can survive these guys .
Every problem Iran is facing, is self induced.
Blame your Islamic masters got oil to sell but put money into war machines feed your people
The whole world is struggling cuz of this pandemic
It all starts when you let the big cooperations to own even the daily essentials and products.
Same Is in pakistan
