TEHRAN (Tasnim) – President Hassan Rouhani said Iran is going to have a good year as all predictions suggest that the country’s economic growth will be positive in year 1399, which has begun on March 20.

“We will have a good year ahead,” he said, adding that all predictions suggest that Iran will experience positive economic growth this year.

A report from the Central Bank of Iran forecasts that the status of inflation will be better than the last two years, the president added.

He also dismissed foreign media reports that Iranians are suffering hardship, stressing that a good year is ahead despite the problems caused by the sanctions and the outbreak of coronavirus.

The stories run by the foreigners are total lies and baseless, Rouhani said, adding, “We will have appropriate conditions with support for each other, presence of people, and the devotion shown by the industrial, agricultural and service sectors, despite what the enemies are drawing.”
