Unprecedented Inflation Hammers Iran
(Al-Monitor) Ali Dadpay - The Statistical Center of Iran (SCI) reported a monthly inflation rate of 12.2% and a yearly rate of 52.5% for the Iranian month ending June 21.

One wonders if Iranian consumers can hold on much longer. The writer is an associate professor of finance at Gupta College of Business, University of Dallas.
