The 55.1% surge in the rial price of imports in spring 1405, alongside a 28% decline in non-oil exports, has increased the cost of trade disruption for Iran's economy. War and maritime blockade have not only reduced trade volume but also raised transportation, insurance, and alternative route costs. Meanwhile, the 56.1% inflation in imported machinery has put additional pressure on investment and production. Additionally, the high price growth of plant products has increased the risk of transferring shocks to consumers. The simultaneous decrease in exports and the rising cost of imports exert extra pressure on foreign exchange resources and foreign trade.
