In an interview with the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA), the former head of the Commercial Bank of Iran stated that the root cause of inflation in Iran lies in the continuous growth of the fiscal deficit and the money supply. Over the past 30 years, Iran's money supply has increased by 30% to 40% annually, sometimes even exceeding 50%, but economic growth has not kept pace. As long as the government fails to maintain fiscal discipline, it will be impossible to curb inflation.
