Re: inflation rate
CB of Iran, as reported by PressTV, says: "annual inflation rate in the Iranian month of Bahman, which ended on February 4, stood at 11.5 percent." I do know that the rate of inflation has decreased greatly in recent months. There is no reason to leave the latest number and take an older one. No?


 * For your info, the Central Bank assesses the inflation rate "with the use of the prices of 395 goods and services in Iran's urban areas". Now i don't think PressTV's report of the latest rate of inflation is unrealiable. It cites the Central Bank of Iran's Governor directly. See first link given at the top for exact reference. They might have pushed this number lower in anticipation of the Iranian Economic Reform Plan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.236.229 (talk) 16:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * CPI is a national average, so it might be higher in Tehran itself. Inflation is created either by increase of liquidity or "imported" through commodities. In return, inflation, over the long run, affects exchange rates. To keep it simple i suggest that we take the World Factbook data (Or the latest release by CBI: 11.5%). This inflation rate is the annual percent change in consumer prices compared with the previous year's consumer prices: 16.8% (2009 est.) - official Iranian estimate.


 * As said before world factbook data or latest CBI data are from same source. Both are CPI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.236.229 (talk) 05:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
