Core focus
- Examines the Targeted Subsidy Reform Law (TSRL), the basic law governing the implementation of the subsidy reform in Iran.
- TSRL envisaged bringing subsidized prices close to international levels over a five-year period.
- Reviews implementation of the first phase of the subsidy reform with particular emphasis on macroeconomic management.
Key findings
- The sharp depreciation of the exchange rate and high inflation significantly undermined progress under the reform.
