The Iranian economy expanded by 3% in the calendar year ending March 20, 2025, according to new data released by the Statistical Center of Iran (SCI). The country\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP) reached 100,260 trillion rials (over $125 billion at free market exchange rates), up from 97,301 trillion rials the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SCI uses 2021 fixed prices as the base for its calculations. Excluding oil, the Iranian economy grew by 2.1%, reaching 76,140 trillion rials in non-oil GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The strongest performance came from the manufacturing and mining sector, including oil, which grew by 3.4%. The petroleum sub-sector alone expanded by 6.2%, despite signs of a slowdown. Oil and gas sector growth decelerated by 1.9% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran\u2019s agriculture sector grew by 3.2%, while services expanded by 2.5%. The services sector remained the largest component of the economy, contributing over 40% of GDP, or 38,746 trillion rials. Oil accounted for 24.7% of GDP, with a value of 24,119 trillion rials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The SCI figures were slightly more conservative than those from the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), which had reported a 3.7% economic growth rate for the first three quarters of the same year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite enduring inflationary pressures, international sanctions, and disruptions in global supply chains, Iran has maintained positive economic growth for the past four consecutive years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
