State of emergency The lack of financial transparency of governments in a conversation with Feridon Majlesi Saba Nowari / author of the publication on issues such as energy and gasoline see that there is a huge gap between the finished price and the cost of transporting the goods with their selling price, but the government prefers to cover this gap by injecting heavy subsidies. The underlying issue is that governments in Iran have lost the ability to contain costs and control matters due to being involved in unusual conditions and ongoing tensions. Budget laws, regulatory bodies, financial discipline and modern accounting are all designed for normal and ordinary conditions. When a country is in a state of tension, crisis and war, the economy and the rationality of budgeting are pushed to the margins. This claim that because oil is the source of income, then the company has no right to monitor, is just a projection. It is true that in international markets and geopolitical competitions some details of transactions or negotiations may remain confidential for limited periods, but this exception should never distort the principle of law. The principle is that the amount of national income derived from natural resources should be clear and traceable. Unless governments take oil revenues out of the dark room and offset them in the form of detailed annual budgets (the end result of spending tracking), the cycle of dependency and indiscipline will not stop. In many cases, governments succumb to these budgetary extortions, because by injecting microcredit into the spheres of influence of the representatives, they prevent them from entering into serious questions. In fact, it is an informal mechanism to buy the silence or cooperation of the parliament so that the legislator is not exposed to the big and expensive decisions of the executive branch. If, instead of the center for strategic supervision and the protection of the treasury, the parliament becomes a company for the distribution of local projects, it is natural that revenues and expenses will fall off the main track. A parliament caught up in these short-term games will not have the motivation and ability to stand against inflationary policies and reckless spending. The first and irreplaceable step is to normalize relations in the country and end the tense and unusual conditions.
