While officials of the Islamic Republic have recently announced the formulation of a 20-year outlook for Iran, the head of the country's Banking Institute states that this is not feasible. This outlook is intended to serve as the basis for the overall direction of Iran's activities in various dimensions and to determine the trajectory of these activities over the next twenty years. The head of the Banking Institute of Iran notes regarding this outlook: 'When we still cannot provide a comprehensive analysis of the current and past economic conditions of the country, how is it possible to predict a 20-year outlook?' According to Fars News Agency, Mohammad Tabeeyan emphasizes: 'Given the increasing changes and transformations in the world economy, it is not possible to accurately predict a 20-year horizon and plan for it from now.' He further adds: 'Just as we could not predict the current conditions of the global economy, such as the changes brought about by the World Trade Organization 20 years ago, we also cannot guess the conditions and characteristics of the next two decades and plan based on that.' Tabeeyan concludes by stating: 'The formulation of this outlook is political maneuvering.'
