Iran Has Abundant Reserves of Basic Goods, Medicine: Report

The Iranian Administration’s Economic Coordination Headquarters has given reports about sufficient reserves of basic commodities and medicine in the country. In a Sunday session of the headquarters, President Ebrahim Raisi received reports stating that the reserves of basic commodities and pharmaceutical products in the country are in a good and acceptable state. The reports also noted that there are abundant reserves in the country’s ports and aboard cargo ships that are bound for Iran, thanks to the arrangements for the timely allocation of foreign currency for the imports.
Stressing the need to accelerate the process of customs clearance and distribution of the basic commodities, the president said the reserves of foodstuff have reached a reliable level. Addressing a parliamentary meeting on November 16, Raisi said his administration was “more hopeful than ever” about the settlement of problems and untying the knots. Pointing to the successful plans to increase the oil sales and raise the country’s income, Raisi said good breakthroughs have been made in the process of supplying financial and currency resources. Moreover, the concerns about the supply and store of basic commodities have been greatly allayed, he noted. Days after taking office in August, Raisi emphasized the necessity for the removal of obstacles to the activities of Iranian exporters, saying plans must be formulated to eliminate the barriers and provide motivation for the enhancement of exports. - Tasnim
