Iran Faces Growing Hyperinflation Fears as Official Data Show Triple-Digit Price Increases

Iran is facing renewed fears of hyperinflation after official data showed triple-digit price increases across key areas of the economy. The figures point to intensifying pressure on households, businesses and government finances as purchasing power weakens. Rising prices could further reduce access to food, medicine and other necessities, while companies struggle with higher operating costs and uncertain demand. Economists say persistent currency weakness, sanctions and supply disruptions are contributing to the crisis. Authorities have yet to announce effective national measures.
