🎥 Aref: Economy is the country's top priority today / We must start reforms from ourselves

First Vice President in the meeting of young headquarters managers of the 14th government:

🔹 We seek reform and must start this from ourselves; our own apparatus, our own management, and the government.

🔹 We must move towards having a dynamic organization that assumes the role of a critical think tank for the government.

🔹 By observing certain issues and utilizing the capacity of the country's youth, we must pioneer in all affairs, especially priorities.

Today, the economy is the country's top priority; I have talked with many about high prices, we have solutions to combat price gouging and are taking action, but what should be done to fundamentally eliminate high prices? In this regard, we need your help.

🔹 This year we have a shortage of at least 100 to 250 million cubic meters of gas, the enemy has taken 250 million cubic meters of Asaluyeh gas out of service, God willing at least 100 [million] cubic meters will come online and part of the shortage will be compensated.

Last year, when we did not face such a deficit, we faced imbalances and our industry shut down; the result of this was unemployment, reduced production, rising prices, and reduced exports. This year, the strategy of the president and the government is not to cut off gas to industries, we are looking for a solution and you must give us solutions.

🔹 One of the solutions is close communication with the people and justifying them. We do not say that the path we have taken is the only path; through your field presence, executive responsibility, and expertise, you can assist the government.
