Speaking at a specialized session on data-driven economic governance on Tuesday morning, Pezeshkian said economic issues and major policymaking decisions should be addressed through a “logical and justice-oriented” approach.
He stressed that all plans and programs should firmly stand alongside “the poor and the deprived,” emphasizing that improving people’s livelihoods must be the system’s main and central concern.
Pezeshkian identified transparency in economic transactions as one of the fundamental requirements of sound economic governance. He said incorporating income-level indicators would provide a key mechanism for greater transparency in economic assessments, adding that the implementation of such a plan requires streamlining and facilitating economic activities.
The president described the establishment of transparent credit mechanisms as one of the tools for implementing the plan, saying such a policy would make individuals accountable for their economic activities and could help combat corruption and rent-seeking.
Pezeshkian further emphasized that the implementation timetable for relevant regulations should be arranged in a way that allows policies aimed at improving economic conditions and increasing data transparency to be implemented rapidly.
