Iran's deputy program and budget organization coordinator says the Salami Republic government should be prepared for a "zero oil revenue" scenario when preparing the 1406 budget.
🔸Mohammed Esmi, in an interview with the video media "Echo of Iran", published on Monday, November 9, added that the budget for next year may be one of the "most difficult budgets of the country after the nationalization of the oil industry".
Continuing his statements, he said that the war affected the government's budget in two ways: "reducing sources of income and increasing expenses."
These statements come at the same time as the American pressure to cut off the Islamic Republic's sources of income.
Maximi stated that the priority of the plan and the budget organization in this situation is providing "necessary and unavoidable expenses" such as paying salaries to employees, pensions to retirees and principal and interest on bonds.
🔸 According to him, the following expenses can be paid if there are "resources".
